[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1911468, member: 90397"] Measuring case necks with seated bullets and taking 0.002 is what got me to the .292 bushing I used for the 156EH. That bushing worked just fine for the 156EH and still does. It will not work with the same virgin brass for the 153.5 Hybrids. I mic'd the 156 EH bullets and got 0.264 - repeatedly. I mic'd the 153.5 hybrid bullets and got 0.2635- repeatedly. Does that account for 2 bushing size differences to get the 153.5 hybrid to seat- no. I probably measured wrong because 6.5mm bullets are all the same diameter, right? What I measure doesn't mean as much to me as whether or not the bullet will stay seated properly. Rightly or wrongly, it takes a smaller bushing for me to get the 153.5 Hybrids to stay seated. Will that hold true for the next box of 153.5 hybrids? I'll find out when they arrive because they shot well enough I ordered more. [/QUOTE]
