[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 513861, member: 24624"] Calipers should be adequate. But, you may need to practice your technique to get repeatable readings. Did you get .306" after using the sizer+expander? Or, just the sizer with no expander? Your sizer die alone should surely take it down below .306" (unless the necks are extra thin). Then, the expander should expand it back to some reasonable diameter. If the sizer doesn't neck the cases to something less than .306", then you may need new dies. Otherwise, your expander is too large and just needs to be sanded/polished down in a drill chuck. Otherwise, there's something not right with your brass i.e. too thin, or work hardened. -- richard [/QUOTE]
