[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2422071, member: 66917"] Mandrels work very good. My 79 year old father (been reloading over 50 years) has recently gotten into trying the mandrel way. Again you have to get that neck down safely to a diameter that can then be expanded. I am still using the 2 bushing approach no mandrel. Doing that has been more than accurate enough for long range hunting. We regularly take Coues deer at 400-700 yard region. Our longest shot on Coues being 934 yards that my son made with my father's old 7mm LRM a few years ago. My son made a 1092 yard shot on an Elk 3 years ago with ammo I loaded for his 7mm LRM using the 2 bushing setup. So, it works. I think even if were using a mandrel I'd still step down the necks in steps of 0.005 or less. [/QUOTE]
