[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 283010, member: 13085"] Are you neck turning the brass? Too much neck turning on some cases will decrease neck tension on factory dies. Also, no neck turning at all leads to variance in neck tension. Cases with thin brass will have less tension than cases with thick necks. The goal in consistency. Even if my brass is at 0.002 neck tension, I can't push in the bullet without at least a fair amount of effort. How accurate are your inner and outer case readings? Maybe you really only have 0.001 thou neck tension or less? I hate expander balls, and if neck tension is an issue, switch to a bushing die so you control the tension. [/QUOTE]
