[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 554031, member: 15748"] Tayhot, You'll need a set of dies (full length is prefereable, but let the debate start now ), but the ability you mention about varying neck tension will call for one of the bushing type dies, such as the Forster or Redding Type-S. given a variety of properly sized bushings, these allow you to control the amount of neck tension. You don't mention what sort of use these rounds will be put to, but I assume we're talking about hunting ammo? For this, you may want to try a conventional seating die and see if there's any run out issues. If so, then you may want to spend the extra bucks for a competition seating die. They [U]may[/U] produce straighter ammunition, but it's not a guarantee, and convetional dies can do a good job if they're used/set up correctly. Given the springback involved in brass, you really can't get too much more than about .002" or .003" neck tension. Besides, anything much more than this is probably just excessive working of the brass. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
