[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1681668, member: 107384"] First if you're starting with new brass assume that it's ready to load. I'd first check length and trim as needed. Chamfer the case mouth inside and outside and deburr flash hole if needed. For .308 expand with a .307 [I use a Sinclair carbide] mandrel and turn with a .306 mandrel. At this point I'd just load them as is and not try for any specific neck tension. For the future instead of a bushing I'd FL size and expand up with either of the Sinclair mandrels. Or depending upon your neck thickness run them into the sizer and don't expand the necks if you have a way to measure inside neck diameter and it's something like .305. You also speak of springback. One way to minimize this [if it's even an issue] is to run the case up into the sizer and leave it there for 10 or more seconds instead of pulling it right back out. [/QUOTE]
