I have decided from reading through others post that I think what will be best for me to tighten up my ES would be to do a full length die and then get the most consistent neck tension by doing a mandrel die after I full length resize.
I have multiple questions,
First off I believe but wanted to confirm with you all what order is best, to ex1:full length resize, measure and trim the necks if needed and then get the desired neck tension through the mandrel die? Ex2:Or would I full length die, run it through the mandrel die and then trim the neck Down if needed?
my second question is I have a rcbs FL die set and I know if I am going to use a mandrel to get more accurate and consistent neck tension that I need to remove the expander ball in it, I'm not sure how I do that while keeping the primer punch inside the die, can anyone explain to me how to do that or do I have to get a new die set?
My last question is I have been looking online trying to find a mandrel die but they are all sold out, most of the mandrels are sold out and all of the mandrel dies are sold out, I am on a waiting list email notification once they are back in stock. Does anyone know of a brand mandrel die that would work for my needs and is available? I have checked a few websites but was hoping to get one direct from Sinclair.
thanks I appreciate anyone's advise or help.
