[QUOTE="tnek13, post: 1705838, member: 43112"] Alternate suggestion, get a Sinclair concentricity gauge, a Sinclair expander die with an expander to give you the neck tension you desire, a 300 Win Mag bump gauge with extra long body, a Harvey Deprimer tool, a digital caliper ( they are easier to read) , and a Forster Ultimate Micrometer Seater Die. Remove the expander from your RCBS sizing die , use the deprimer tool to deprive your fired brass, set the sizing die to bump the shoulder back to .001 or .002 from your fired case, use the expander die as a separate operation to open up the neck, prime the case, charge the case, seat with the Forster die, run the round on the concentricity die, and smile at the end result. Measure everything and you will probably find that the RCBS die gives you an excellent concentric case. If you decide to go the bushing die route, you will still need the measuring tool to tell if your result is what you are after. I went the bushing die route on several calibers I load for and they did not give me the result that I wanted (.002 or better run out). Good luck, and have fun. [/QUOTE]
