[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1280674, member: 97793"] Lonewolf, I am using Winchester brass. Neck turned needs a smaller bushing then factory brass. As said above, different bushings are just a method to adjust neck tension with different brands of brass. I use Remington unturned brass for my Rem 600 Mohawk. BUSHING SIZE -Different brands, lots of brass may require different size bushhings. This is why we measure a loaded round with the components being used. I dont anneal brass. To hard to get it right for me. Necks change after brass has been loaded 15 and 18 times, requiring a smaller bushing. I had started with only .001" neck tension and found .002" is better on target. There is some good info on the Redding website, like.... The bushing size stamp marking should face the case mouth. The fired case neck should not be sized down more that .008" in one step. A little lube on the outside of the necks , when sizing, helps both steel and coated bushings work better. [/QUOTE]
