[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 882875, member: 23486"] With most brass, neck thickness is varaiable (Just measured some Rem 7saum @ .015 to .018). An expander mandrel is the ONLY way to go in my humblest opinion, for consistent neck tension as mike pointed out. I turned 100pcs of that brass to see what the effect it will have vs another 100pc lot that has not been turned. I plan to run with the usual .002 under loaded size thru a bushing w/o expander ball. Then, size at -.002 then expander mandrel. Should be interesting. To answer your question, I never use the expander ball in bushing dies, ever. The whole point for me, with "competition" dies is to eliminate run out, not put it right back in there. cheers, t [/QUOTE]
