[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 801876, member: 11667"] You may be right.. But, what I’m getting at is this issue seems to be about neck tension. The original poster simply wanted to know what the bulge is all about, and everyone went off on a tangent about neck sizing ability of the die. That’s all fine and dandy, but I am not a big believer in neck bushing dies unless you have a custom chamber. Greyfox touched on it well I think – the bushing being used is too much down-sizing. Going with .001 increments is better served. Now, I do question where the .331 loaded dia comes from since SAAMI specifications are .343, and bushings offered by Redding for the .308 range from .335 to .343. That is consistent with SAAMI, and we’re not talking about a custom chamber either ..(I don’t believe). That just may be a turned or very thin walled cases. If he’s turning, AND using that oversized bushing, that just maybe the problem. The brass flows up through the neck, and the oversizing causes brass flow to stop or at least slow down a lot. ie that bulge. I would still suggest he would get more bang for his buck and less hassle using a collet neck-sizer such as lee, and/or turning necks, .. just my 2-c anyway. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
