[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 607577, member: 25383"] take the bullet diameter plus the wall thickness times two, and then subtract .003". The .003" is a starting point, and you may end up with something like .0045", or even .0025" tension on the bullet (grip). Have you actually checked the bushing diameter to see if it was marked wrong? (I've seen this happen a couple times). Do this: Take a case that's ready to be neck sized, and mark the neck O.D. with a felt tipped pen all the way down to the shoulder. Now neck size it the same way you've been doing it prior. Then have a look to see just how much of the markings have been removed. If it's still black (or whatever color you chose), then your not sizing the neck at all. Then later take a case you know is good, and yet to be sized. Measure the O.D. of the neck with a micrometer, and then size it. This will tell you what the spring back in the brass is (you are using a .310" bushing, so anything over .310" is spring back) gary [/QUOTE]
