[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1083944, member: 10755"] Are you using a Lee collet type neck die and then switching to a non collet FL die? I am confused as to what you are doing exactly. What do you mean by 'hand seating' your bullets? I doubt very much that the bullets will be out of spec, I have used the same bullet in my own F-Class rifle, the 208 A-Max was quite accurate in my rifle. Have you measured your case necks before and after seating the A-Max's? I would be purchasing a Redding 'S' type bushing die, whether it's a full length or neck die is up to you, but this is my set up, Redding body die, Forster FL comp bushing die and Forster comp seating die and a Redding 'S' type neck bushing die that I use to size brand new unfired brass to my predetermined neck tension on NEW brass, this changes as the amount of firing and annealing takes place, neck tension changes as the hardness of the brass changes. I anneal every sizing on my comp brass. This is different to NEW unfired brass and needs a different bushing size to have the same neck tension, according to my test equipment. Please answer the above questions so we all can have a better understanding of what's taking place. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
