[QUOTE="woods, post: 402484, member: 6042"] I did resize between tests. IOW, I resized one neck down to .365" ID, seated a bullet, pulled the bullet and it went to ID of .373" I sized the other case neck to .371" ID with the expander, seated a bullet, pulled the bullet and it went to ID of .373" I then resized, reseated, repulled and remeasured again with the exact same results except the ID of the case neck sized without the expander took the .366" pin gauge. I did that 4 times, i.e. seated the bullets without resizing, pulled the bullets and gauged the ID of the neck. Every time the ID returned to .373" and there was no discernible difference in seating or pulling force. I suppose if I did it enough times the neck brass could become work hardened enough to change the ID enough so that it would take another gauge but with one press and screwing in the die and puller alternately, that got old quick.
