[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2446374, member: 30902"] I wish I could give you an intelligent, positive answer. It very well may do the trick but hard for me to say definitively. I settled on very little neck tension to the point I could actually seat a bullet in the case with my fingers and then crimped. That seems to give me the best consistency in all of my bolt guns. The only AR I've loaded for is my DPMS/Krieger .260 Remington. That was before I really even knew the difference in bushing dies and SAAMI spec dies. At SAAMI Spec some bullets did walk, those I'd loaded with a compressed load walked as much as 1/4" just sitting in the box so I had to reseat them all and apply the crimp. Once I'd done that I never had any more issues but again, I only did that for the AR10 and doubt it would be safe in a bolt gun. Those were rounds so tight they were hard to pull bullets on even with a bullet pulling die it still took considerable force. [/QUOTE]
