[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2421844, member: 6078"] Get it. Try it. If it hits, grind or ream (carbide) the shoulder out inside the barrel of the die. And you only need to size a portion of the neck anyway. If I was try to do what you are trying to do, I'd just make a bushing die that only slid down the neck, like pistol case sizing die. What's your outside neck diameter? probably pretty close to .368? That's a 9.3 bullet, so u could use a cast bullet sizer for that. If its thicker, u could use a sizer for 357mag or 380. They're .375. 223 case is right around there At the base as well so you could get away with a bump in that to hold a bullet. Could trim it shorter to get the size you're after and itll still do 223. You're not looking for perfect, just bullet tension so anything that'll squeeze it even half way down the neck will work. I only neck size 2/3 of the necks on most of mine for better centering when chambered, but that's a separate subject [/QUOTE]
