Just starting to reload for Sherman short mag. Ordered hornady bushing dies. Any suggestions on what bushings to order or does anyone have a good starting size. Thanks

It's determined by brass and bullet

I ended up having to go with a .309 bushing and .2825 expander mandrel to get .002 neck grip but yours may be a bit different. Whatever you do, run the brass through a 3-way trimmer or something similar before you run them through a neck bushing. To be such good brass ADG case mouths are the worst I've ever seen. Trim to length is 1.950

Note that this is with virgin brass........Things may change a bit after a few firings and annealing.
