[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2071136, member: 38048"] No you most likely will not need new dies either. Standard dies size way too much to begin with. They will only work better with your cleaned up brass. Standard dies usually size your brass down .008 to .010 and then use the expander to get the neck back up to the proper size. Size a brass with the expander in it and then do one without the expander and measure the difference. You will see what I mean. Regular dies over work the necks in a big way. I think they make them too tight on propose so it won't matter if your necks are thick or thin it will size enough and then be expanded back. Bushing dies are definitely more friendly on your necks. Forster will home your neck to the proper size once you get your brass right. It's very inexpensive to have them do it and will extend the life of your brass and make straighter ammo. Shep [/QUOTE]
