Which full sizer do most of you use, the standard non bushing full sizer or the bushing full sizing die? I know the non bushing has one neck tension and cannot be adjusted while the bushing full sizer can use different bushing sizes to control neck tension.

Would collet dies perform better in runout issues?
 
The Redding FL sizing type S bushing die is what i use for 243 win. Use with or without the expander. Sizing 1/2 of the neck increases accuracy .
 
To set it straight, with neck bushings tension is adjusted with LENGTH of neck sizing.
The correct bushing size provides for full springback gripping the bullet bearing, and is determined through trial & error (with assisting rules of thumb for normal neck clearances).

Most folks using collet dies are happy with runout results. Not so much with tension adjustability.
I can think of nothing good in FL sizing of necks. Only bad.
