[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 999847, member: 12"] Matt, do not let MikeCR BS you. As usual he is not telling the whole story or just flat out does not understand FL sizing and have come up with his warped world definition. 1. He is taking WSM brass and loading to max of 53 for maybe 55 PSI which is 15-18 percent below max. NO ONE here loads like that!!!!! So his experience is not relative or practical to real world LR hunting/BR loads. 2. He thinks and claims that he is only NS'ing because he uses JLC custom body dies honed to his chamber AND neck sizing because he leave a small ring unsized on the neck. All he has in effect is a custom fit FL bushing die but in two steps. He normally leaves out the part about using custom body dies to "claim he only NS and it is the answer to the world". I keep waiting for him to write Redding and tell them they are mis-marketing their FL bushing die as "it really not FL" according to his definition. The answer is you have to have a die matched to the chamber to give it enough sizing all over or you will get the click IF you are loading anywhere near max. Now you can FL size the body in one or two steps. [/QUOTE]
