[QUOTE="Deleted member 107666, post: 1695278"] Now, for the overthinking this. Shooting .308 cal bullets. I'd bought a .332 neck bushing planning on .014 neck tension. To set .004 tension and expend out with a .306 mandrel for .002. Problem is, with the necks at .013, that .332 neck bushing compresses down to .002 tension. So my .306 mandrel does no work. Do I need to size down to a .331 or .330 bushing and then expand back out to ensure the expander us doing some work? Or am I overthinking this and since the .306 mandrel fits snugly by hand, that I should be set at .002 tension and time to call it good and load? Any reason for concern is it's a hunting rifle and wanted .002 at a minimum tension. [/QUOTE]
