[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1157975, member: 55230"] I know mandrels are a separate die. So if I have a 284 spent case and put the mandrel through it nothing will happen b/c the shoulder is already blown beyond .284, so do you neck size then open it w/ the mandrel? If you do, how do you determine your neck tension? Also over time your necks will thin and changing mandrels isn't as easy as changing bushings. I guess I'm a little confused on how to use a mandrel for reloading, I've used them to open 6.5 to 284 and thats it. At one point I did want to use a lee mandrel but after talking to a guy who is far more meticulous than I said what he does to his mandrels w/ honing etc.... so I aborted. [/QUOTE]
