[QUOTE="dragman, post: 817713, member: 39571"] example: 30 caliber standard .341 - .343 (usually) If you take new unturned brass and size it down in a REGULAR die it will come out around .336 and then when you seat a bullt it should bring it out around .339. These numbers float and can be different from gun to gun and die to die. thats why many bench guys get tight necks because then they can control everything. Example: make a 30 cal a .338 tight neck (exact) then you have to turn your brass down making it perfect. then you buy a redding type bushing die and size it down to .333 (what I would prefer) then when you seat your bullet it expands the neck back too .335 and gives you .002 bullet grip and .003 for the expansion. Some people like more or less bullet grip more or less expansion room but the idea is that you can completely control what your loads are doing giving you the ability to make a gun do what you need it to do for any and all distances.
