[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1733778, member: 28965"] I prefer Forster full length dies with their expander installed in the die. And I saw no improvement in concentricity using a expander die. In the Redding bushing die FAQ they tell you if the neck thickness varies .002 or more to use the expander that comes with their die. They also tell you if the fired case neck expands .004 or more to reduce the neck diameter in two or more steps to reduce the amount of neck runout. Meaning bushing dies work best with custom tight neck chambers. And if you have a off the shelf factory rifle with a SAAMI chamber the case neck will expand far more than .004 and your neck runout will increase. And at the Whidden custom die webpage they tell you that non-bushing full length dies produce more concentric cases. Below if you are worried about over working your brass then have your Forster dies neck honed. "BUT" this may limit you to one brand of brass or turning your necks.
