[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 831661, member: 39801"] +1, that is the way to do it. If you buy Lapua brass you can also measure the OD of their neck when it shows up and use that as your smallest of the 3 bushings you buy (or even subtract 1 thou as a safety factor for thinner brass). I have found Lapua brass to show up from the factory about 1thou tighter than I would size the neck myself. FWIW, my first go with bushing dies was reloading 1x factory ammo in 22-250. The inconsistency in this brass (crazy between brands, but evident even within boxes of the same brands) was maddening. I have 5 different bushing die sets now and only use component brass from the quality makers - it really makes a huge difference. [/QUOTE]
