[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1650236, member: 28965"] The Redding bushing die FAQ tells you to reduce the neck diameter in two or more steps when sizeing the more than .002. They also tell you that if the neck thickness variations are .002 or more, then use the expander that comes with their bushing dies. And neck sizing dies do not support and hold the case body when sizing the neck. Meaning they can increase neck runout because the both the case body and neck can move during sizing. And at the Whidden custom die website they tell you they get more concentric cases with non-bushing full length dies. And Whidden does not make neck sizing dies, but will make custom dies from your fired cases. Below are just some of the dies I tested for case neck runout after sizing, and the Forster full length dies were the best with bushing neck sizing die with the most runout. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/pltdloo.jpg[/IMG] I also tested .243 and .308 Win dies and the modified Redding die below with a Forster expander and spindle assembly produced less runout than the Redding factory expander. [img]https://i.imgur.com/kWbieba.jpg[/img] The best part about reloading is the person pulling the press handle decides how to do it. And from my experience Forster full length dies with their high mounted floating expanders produce very concentric cases. [/QUOTE]
