[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2683827, member: 121268"] Neck tension is measured by the difference between the bullet diameter and the neck diameter. You need at least .0025" to .003" of interference to not worry about crimping. If your bullet is slipping in your case then your neck tension might be too loose. If your bulging the case during crimping your applying too much crimp. I would separate the process. You dont have to crimp and seat at the same time in your RCBS die if I recall (I use Redding dies...). Set your seating die up to only seat the bullet. Then measure your neck tension. (your case neck should measure about .003" bigger than it was before seating the bullet, if properly sized) [/QUOTE]
