[QUOTE="Rileyz, post: 2803931, member: 121552"] This is my first post here. Been browsing for a while. I’m about at my wits end. I’m not an advanced Reloader but have never had major issues reloading either. I’m loading a 6.5prc with adg brass and 139 Lapua scenars. I have a Forster seating micrometer and a Redding bushing die. I used my rcbs die to full length size brass and the bullets just had a very faint ring. I decided later to get a Redding bushing die with a .291 bushing and also decided to get a .262 expander mandrel to have more consistent neck tension. The first load had pretty strong tension and left a very noticeable indentation in the bullet. The diameter of the brass neck with the bullet seated is now .294. It was .293 after running the mandrel through it. Obviously I’m doing something wrong and is probably simple. First time going this route and would appreciate any info. Thanks. Sorry so long winded.
