[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 712278, member: 10291"] Several years ago I moved to full length sizing dyes after using neck dyes for many years. I'm partial to the Redding competition bushing dyes. No tight cases after repeated firings using a neck dye, and very consistent results. I think with each firing when using the neck dye, the case expands a little until you begin to feel it when closing the bolt. The issue is that the cases tend to do this at different rates which means the case volume may be inconsistent from round to round. Set headspace 1-2 thousandths less than the fired case. I do use the expander with some of my loads, usually with Lapua brass which has a very consistent neck thickness. The key is to leave a slight space when setting the bushing, and a slight play with the expander plug rod. I have had no problem keeping my run outs under .002". [/QUOTE]
