[QUOTE="Brent, post: 26722, member: 99"] Steve, Thanks for the help. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I placed a Redding .335" nitrided bushing against the bottom of the Toolhead on the Dillon 550, and with a very heavily chamfered case mouth tried to push it up into it... no dice, it just crumpled one side. I don't have any larger bushings right now or know anyone that uses them to try out some of theirs. Aside from maybe buying, maybe, the wrong ones, I'd have to guess at this point. I'm dropping the neck diameter .030" so, if I could get by with maybe one .350" bushing instead of a .355" and another .345" bushing to get me down the .030" it would be nice to know. If you'd like to give it a try for me Steve and let me know what works best, I'd very much appreciate it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking I could place a washer below the bushing with an appropriate sized hole that's been tapered with a drill bit to push the shoulder back a little more uniform than I'd get than with the sharper edge of the bushing itself. I need to bump the shoulder back at the neck junction to 2.320". The body/ shoulder junction length is 2.177", with the diameter at the shoulder at .570". If I could get them to chamber doing this, I'd headspace them on the bullet and fireform them, then I'll be set to FL size them using the FL bushing die when it gets here. Doing this with the FL die itself would be much easier though. You're right, getting another in between die large enough in diameter is the big problem. Thanks for all the help.
