[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 896804, member: 2736"] De-capping rod Expanders are the most common method to size the neck tor bullet tension because it sets the inside of the neck regardless of the neck wall thickness and does not require turning the necks. To get consistent neck tension, necks need to be turned to even thickness and uniform with all of the other cases in the batch you load. necks of un-equal thickness are not very consistent and also move the bullet center off the bore center. When you turn the necks and fire form the case it centers everything up. at this point using a DE-capping rod expander doubles the work hardening of the neck compared to a bushing die. Necks that are turned and sized will have more consistent neck tension because of uniform neck thickness and case to case uniformity. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
