[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1866031, member: 7"] I have run into this several times in the past... The Redding bushings have an angle cut at the mouth to help feed a larger mouth from a fired case, into the smaller bore of the bushing. The feeding bevel has sharp corners, and they leave scratches, and/or a sharp ledge in the neck that does not iron out with the loaded bullet. [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/Bushing%20stuff-A_zpsnercbiee.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/7-28-2012%20115-600_zps5hwlvz2f.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/7-28-2012%20121%20-%20600_zps3jmkomoy.jpg[/IMG] And, of course, because brass can scrape off at the sharp edge of the bevels, it can lead to neck scratches... [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/Lapua30-06brass%20-%20600_zpsmazr1ptf.jpg[/IMG] That sucked!!!!! So I got a 20° plumb bob, and chucked it in a 1/4" hand drill. I wrapped the nose with #2000 grit carborundum "Wet n Dry" paper, and oiled it. [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/Bushing-mods%20012_zpsq0k8kjkz.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/Bushing-mods%20008_zpsirh8idnb.jpg[/IMG] This is what they looked like after they were polished... [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/20161215_152745_zpsj3knn6hw.jpg[/IMG] And this is what the necks looked like when loaded - compare to the loaded neck above. [IMG]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h73/KittyWhacker/Redding%20Bushings/Bushing%20marks-1_zpsnb9ps4k6.jpg[/IMG] I will tell you this - you will NEVER enlarge the bore of these bushings, no matter what you do.... They are God awful hard. [/QUOTE]
