[QUOTE="swampbug, post: 3063648, member: 115992"] Lots of good responses. You must start with good brass, not range pickup brass. You should anneal after every firing. My method is Measure loaded OD Subtract .004 for bushing size For mandrel size, take bullet size minus .002 Brass will have spring back of .0005 For general hunting, with good brass, IMO, turning necks is not necessary. I use guage pins .0005 under mandrel size to test necks if I didn't load them immediately after sizing. [/QUOTE]
