[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1705146, member: 90080"] Bushing dies really work best on neck turned brass or brass with very little variation in neck thickness. If you're goal is consistent neck tension on unturned brass, I would suggest you stick with a full length sizing die (expander ball removed). This should reduce neck ID to 4-5 thou under caliber. Then get a mandrel die with .002" & .003" mandrels ( under your caliber) to open necks prior to seating your bullets. I've found this method will give you more consistent neck tension, from round to round, than using a bushing die on unturned necks. Mandrel dies and precision mandrels are available from K&M, Sinclair, 21st Century and several other sources in increments of .0005", and are usually cheaper than bushing dies. [/QUOTE]
