[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 359844, member: 306"] Most reloading dies come with an expander since that is the last operation on sizing the case that set necks tension. Redding type S dies furnish's two type expanders I use the smaller one so that the bushing controls the amount of neck tension and you don't work the neck brass as much. Sure be nice if every brand of brass had the same neck thickness bushing dies allow you to adjust neck tension by using different size bushing. I also use an inline seater Wilson,Jones and I think that combination has helped my groups. I started using bushing die back in the early 80's shooting BR then made the change over to my regular rifles so for me I'm pretty set on bushing sizes and I've been slowly change over to the Redding type S FL die. I shot appr 15yrs before I started using bushing die and I did pretty good with those type dies but when I look at the cost of the new Bartlein 5r barrel for the 280AI or Kreiger 5r for the 300WSM then the cost to have them chamber etc $60 (+ -) for a sizing die isn'tt all that much. If your happy with your existing dies and your getting good groups stay with them. When you make a change you should be able to tell if it has help your groups if your not at that point or doesn't interest you why change. [/QUOTE]
