[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 513833, member: 6452"] For the Froggy reference I was refering to this article which is the reloading page associated with "Bugholes from a Bipod" [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/reloadingfroggy.html]Froggy Part II -- Reloading[/url] Here's a video I did showing that on some of my cases there is absolutely ZERO neck tension. I'm wondering if my sizing die is out of spec? Could the cases be work hardened and spring back out after sizing? Like I said I've never neck turned any of this brass and all of these were just sized last night without an expander ball. There's no way I should be able to hand push a bullet through a neck with no resistance. I've loaded for numerous other rifles and never had this problem. My brother is bringing his .308 up this week and I'm going to play with it as well. I think a bushing die will be ordered shortly! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhbC85fYakY]YouTube - M2U00343‏[/ame] Measured some of the bullets and you can see that the ETip is right at .307" if not slightly smaller, the other Nosler bullets were all right around .307" while my other main practice load the 110gr.
