[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2356785, member: 10755"] I get the least runout when I use dies, mandrels or custom neck sizers that only move the brass in all directions no more than .003”, including spring back. When I size my necks, I can barely feel any resistance at all. If you have a chamber that has more than .003”-.004” clearance in the neck, then you would be better off sizing with a FL die and use the expander with graphite powder on the INSIDE of the necks. This is how all sizing should be done. I use 2 methods, body die only, then custom neck die with expander followed by final mandrel size. Custom neck FL sizing die with custom expander made by Forster or Whidden. This is sometimes followed by a mandrel if I want .0005” accuracy, but mostly my hunting rifles are sized adequately doing this. I no longer use bushing dies, they just aren’t as concentric as a honed neck die. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
