[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2744469, member: 113404"] I pulled the decappers/buttons out of my FL dies I use an RCBS universal decapper I anneal the cases prior to sizing and mandrel use I use 21st Cent mandrels (Stainless with some imperial sizing wax) I noticed increasing the ID of the brass by at least .003" with a mandrel allows the brass to stay at that setting. Hammer bullets get .004" interference fit and Bergers .0015". Incredible results on target! Funny the Lee collet die was brought up. I loaded with Lee dies many years ago, and before I had any clue about "neck tension", I would reduce the rod to get more neck tension. Well, Lee supported the .0015-.002" neck tension and I was a heathen. Now I understand what Lee was doing. LOL. [/QUOTE]
