[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2111415, member: 26077"] Run brass into die without expander in place, measure neck diameter with your Vernier or better yet Micrometer. Presto, accurate neck size that includes the brass spring back, which is actually the measurement you care about. Now you can adjust tension via neck turning or changing the size of the expander ball.You can't make the tension more than you start with but you can make it less. [/QUOTE]
