[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1447654, member: 28965"] With off the shelf factory rifles the vast majority of case necks will expand more than .004 when fired. And when reducing the neck diameter with a bushing die this can induce neck runout. And why Redding recommends reducing the neck diameter in two steps to reduce induced neck runout with a bushing die. Redding also recommends if the case necks are not turned to use a bushing .002 smaller and use the expander that comes with the die. Bottom line, a full length non-bushing die supports the case body and case neck and will produce the most concentric cases. Below are just some of the dies I tested and the Forster full length die produced cases with the least neck runout. And the neck sizing dies produce the most neck runout and the Forster bushing bump die produced the most neck runout. I also tested .243 Redding bushing dies vs the Forster full length dies and got the same results. And there is a reason why die hard neck sizers are using the Lee collet die vs bushing dies. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/pltdloo.jpg[/IMG] And at the 6.5 Guys website they now prefer Forster full length dies vs bushing dies. [MEDIA=youtube]ac3iDJxDgxk[/MEDIA] NOTE, with my Forster full length dies and my brass the necks did not need to be honed.
