[QUOTE="Phil3, post: 799801, member: 17575"] Differences? For me, it is the following? 1) Full length resizing every time, with possible alternate of using a neck bushing. I found my fired brass measured .255, my Redding FL die pushed it down to .239 and the expander ball brought it back to around .248. That is a lot of brass working. Still, I would give some extra neck clearance vs a tight necked bolt gun. Also need to be sure of proper neck diameter if not crimping to assure bullet stays put under loading. 2) A bit more generous on shoulder datum line to case head dimension. 3) Very careful to fully seat primers. 4) Use harder cup primers. I use Remington 7-1/2s. 5) Selection of proper powder burn rate with consideration given to barrel length, to achieve reliable gas operation of bolt. 6) Selection of powder that also burns clean but does the job otherwise. Just my $0.02 and maybe not worth that. :) Phil [/QUOTE]
