[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2751616, member: 12282"] All the other posts are good, but one additional though if you are chasing the ultimate in repeatability is this. If you are annealing, you are hopefully annealing evenly. But if there are occasional necks or shoulders that are softer or harder, you will get variation how much the bushing pushes the neck down in resizing. I am assuming that the Widden bushing dies do NOT have an expander ball? That's the other source of shoulder distortion. For dies that use expander balls, the ball can literally "pull" the neck back up during the expansion process. Anyhow, just saying. Annealing and expander balls can introduce variation in shoulder too. [/QUOTE]
