[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 1258393, member: 40850"] I have made a bunch of brass using bushing dies. I use a .295 bushing without the button and size it down with one pass. be sure to set your die so you don't move the shoulder too much. I keep the bushing tight and don't let it float for this step, helps with runout Then I run it over the expander mandrel, then trim to 2.020 It's important to trim before turning because the cutter needs to be consistent on where it contacts the shoulder. Then I turn the necks down to .014 slightly into the shoulder (you may be able to go thicker due to the reamer you used, mine is .296) I go slow and use a little dry neck lube on the inside of the neck so it doesn't get too hot. Then size again with a .290 bushing, load and shoot You may still have some run out but after the first firing you will be .000-.002 run out [/QUOTE]
