[QUOTE="Strader01, post: 1046082, member: 87425"] What I found was that a .252 bushing just touches the case neck, but not really sizing anything, so I think after these cases are fired once each the new Lapua brass wont be as tight on the bullets. after the first firing I have the .252 and .251 bushing to see which will hold the bullet tight but not excessively tight and leaving the ring. I did also do a polish of the stem. I wrapped 600 grit wet and dry paper around a bullet and polished the area that it touched in the stem, then went to 1500 grit. used 6 pieces of 400 grit in all and trimmed them so no overlap. when one piece got worn I would switch to new piece. Redding suggested to order a new replacement stem called the VLD style for Very low drag bullet. Not my style of bullet, but it might have more contact area on bullet. [/QUOTE]
