[QUOTE="dmproske, post: 240971, member: 10838"] Thank you for the replies. A few days ago I orderd some neck turning tools and a .336 and .337 bushing. My type s die set came with two different size exander balls that also hold the decapping pin. I use this die to decap as well. The smaller ball is so small I believe it does not touch the neck at all. I am fully aware of the problems that expander balls cause and that bushing dies should not use them. That being said I have a few more questions.... 1. Does redding offer a decapping assembly for their dies that have no expander ball at all?...do i can totally rule that out. 2. Should I neck turn before or after sizing fired brass? 3. What about fresh new brass? I have a 500 count box of new brass that has some very visually crooked and out of round necks. How do I turn these? I may have to run them through a expander ball to get them in the ball park enough to see what I have. Some of the necks are almost square shaped:mad: I hate to cull them out. .300 ultra brass is too **** expensive to do that. [/QUOTE]
