[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1298711, member: 1521"] I use Redding body dies (some custom) for bumping, and separate Wilson dies for bushing neck sizing. This produces ammo straight as any you will find (including collet neck sizing). On support, my body dies slightly squeeze the case bodies (squeezing is not sizing/yielding). This is all needed for support, and I couldn't imagine a body die that didn't at least provide this. A bushing bump die/combination should work really well for cartridges/chambers that do not require lower body sizing. Mid-size Ackley improved cartridges come to mind. I've done it with 223, 6br, 6xc, 6.5wssm Imp. Soon with a 260AI(same capacity as my 6.5wssm Imp), and I believe this will represent the biggest area cartridge with this potential. Larger area, and there will not be enough barrel steel around the chamber to mitigate sizing needs near webs (even with a coned breech). That is, while running competitive pressures. [/QUOTE]
