[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 845657, member: 5219"] Most of the RCBS dies I bothered to measure yielded a .003" for difference between sized and loaded. Many handloaders will use .002" which can be done with a Redding S bushing sizer die. Some even use .001" or less but that is ammo not meant for a magazine. I can't imagine wanting to go tighter than .003" for tension unless the rifle had recoil so severe that the rounds in the magazine experienced bullet setback. At that point a crimp is the more common solution rather than more neck tension. I have read more than once that high neck tension could lead to misalignment of bullet causing poor accuracy. [/QUOTE]
