[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 485343, member: 24624"] Mike, I mentioned neck tension and perhaps used the term improperly. What I meant was that I use my bushing to size down .002" less than the bullet diameter. I also adjust my die to size about half the neck. I do this without an expander on fired cases that were neck turned before firing and get excellent concentricity/TIR inside and out on the necks as well as the bullets for what I believe to be reasonable and even neck tension. I don't think you can get that granular with collet dies although there are some tricks I think. But, it's all relative and the collet system may be good enough for some of us. I haven't yet used Wilson dies, but that would be my next step up/over if I wasn't satisfied with Redding S-Type and the Forster co-ax press. But, I'm have plenty to learn. thanks, richard [/QUOTE]
