[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2090321, member: 116486"] Now I'm confused. I thought a bushing die squeezes the neck back as opposed to squeezing it down at the top then pulling over the mandrel to stretch it out to the appropriate size. The theory I thought was to just size the required amount with a bushing die to get neck tension with less. Work hardening the brass. The Body die probably takes the place of the FLS die that would squeeze down the body, the neck and pull it over a mandrel to size the neck as opposed to using a bushing die only then a body die then the bushing die as they get hard to chamber , A cheaper 2 die set will simply FLS everytime and seat. What [USER=108658]@Lahunter76[/USER] has is the better version, Correct me if I'm wrong Redding do make comp sets, micrometre sets etc but the 3 die bushing set. Probably does not contain a FLS die or a Expander button in the Body die. It defeats the purpose. He needs an extra step when they need body sizing as they get tight but it's a step up from a simple 2 die set that works ok for hunters. [/QUOTE]
