[QUOTE="kai, post: 1643894, member: 98994"] I received my first batch of ADG brass in 28 Nosler. I full length sized the brass (without the expander button out of the FL Redding sizing die) so that I could turn the necks. The expander button increased the runout of the necks by roughly .005" so I didn't use it. Instead, after FL sizing the brass, I sized the necks up slightly with the K&M sizing mandrel in order to turn the necks with the K&M neck turning mandrel and cutter. After the neck turning, the necks had a runout averaging less than .002" but the necks were slightly too large for seating the bullets. I could size the necks down with a Lee collet die, however, I'm going to open up the neck area of the full length sizing die to the proper size for seating the 143 gn. Hammer Hunter bullets. Hopefully this will give me the optimum concentricity of the necks to the case body and eliminate the need to size the body and necks separately when reloading the brass. [/QUOTE]
