[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2721995, member: 101859"] I do not use mandrels. The idea they push variations to the outside is not true. You would have to expand enough for the brass to yield. And even then the thicker parts will spring back more, to the inside. The other issue with them is neck tension is more important that most realise. Some combos like light and some like heavy. The amount of neck tension is as important as seating depth or powder charge. Its the number one mis understood thing in tuning. You dont just pick a random neck tension like .002 and run with it. Another issue is your forced to use a lube with a mandrel, another thing I dont want to do. [/QUOTE]
