[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1734796, member: 10429"] "with consistent/light neck tension(.0015”)." So I seen someone else post this. Are you talking about the amount the die sized the neck down after firing or expands it back out. Or is the brass thickness on the neck. So far I have basically used Redding FL sizer dies. I think in the 6.5x284 they give me about a 292 neck size. I have never really checked how much difference it is between fired brass and unfired. But I have notices at times that bullets seat different or the amount of tension on the bullet as the press ram is going down. I have tried to mark some of these rounds to see if this changed anything. An the light carbon or dust film on the case necks I also leave it in as well. I was doing some water media cleaning a it made the brass all nice and pretty but the feel of the bullet seating changed a lot. As well as the numbers. I went back to the dry media or if I do water clean after they are completely dry I will polish them back in the dry corn cob just to get the dust back in the necks.
