[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1960396, member: 2736"] It Depends how you use it. I use the expander "Mandrel" to size the neck for the turning "Mandrel" to better fit the turning "Mandrel" for a precision fit to turn the necks, This method has given me the most accurate neck thickness. I have not tried using the sizing Mandrell for final neck tension. I consider this a separate operation than adjusting the neck tension. Also with the carbide sizing Mandrel, you cant make any small adjustments like you can with bushings or expander mandrels. Then use a expander "Ball" in the dies or a bushing die to get the best fit for the bullet. Before any loading, the cases are cleaned. Just the way I like to use the different mandrels.
