[QUOTE="woods, post: 859426, member: 6042"] The amount of grip is up to you. General consensus is bullet grip from .001" to .003" (less than diameter of bullet) You can get an approximation of bullet grip by measuring outside neck diameter of a sized but unloaded case and a loaded case, subtract the 2. Not very accurate There are other tools. I use a set of pin gauges [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN1487.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN1489.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN2071.jpg[/IMG] You can order mandrels from Lee in whatever diameter you want (minimum order applies, $15.00 or more IIRC) [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN1547.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0051.jpg[/IMG] Some prefer to chuck the mandrel in a drill and hold sandpaper on it.
