[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1257706, member: 28965"] If you have a standard SAAMI chamber I would just use the Forster full length benchrest sizing die. These Forster dies have a high mounted floating expander that greatly reduces neck runout or even correct runout. If you reduced the neck diameter .005 or more with a bushing die you can induce neck runout. And at the Whidden custom die website they tell you their [B]non-bushing[/B] dies produce the most concentric ammunition. They also sell expander ball kits with five expanders in .001 increments. I get the least neck runout with my standard Forster lull length dies compared to the bushing dies I have. And the reloader has no control over how much the case neck expands when fired. Bushing dies work best with tight neck chambers with neck turned brass, and off the shelf factory rifles do not have tight neck chambers. Measure the neck of a fired case and the neck of a loaded round and see how much the neck will need to be reduced. [/QUOTE]
