Don't use a bushing die to size brass before neck turning??

[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 974223, member: 5219"] Oregonian, Can you tell us about your rifle? Are you going to neck turn for a custom chamber? Or is it factory chambered? If it is not a custom chamber you might not gain anything by neck turning. You will shorten the life of the necks if the chamber neck dimension is spacious. Firing a round in the chamber expands the neck to contact the chamber wall. Sizing will reduce the neck to a dimension to hold the bullet. If the difference in dimensions is too large it will over work the brass and in just a few firings causing splits. I know I did exactly that with my first attempt at neck turning not knowing those details. IMO neck turning should be part of a coordinated approach with chamber reamer AND neck wall thickness so uniform neck tension and bullet release clearances enhance accuracy and extend brass life.
