[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1104394, member: 1521"] Well, depending on your chamber clearances, amount of barrel steel around that chamber, and load pressure, you may not have a lot of choice about FL sizing the body. You might have to squish the crap out of it, leading to constant trimming and donut building. This is a pretty common scenario for folks. You may or may not be there. But you need to understand your seated bullet relationship to donuts, and manage this. I'll say this - DO NOT FL SIZE NECKS -ever. Any advice you get to do so is bad advice. As far as recovery with the old brass, it's too late to neck turn. You would have to ream out any donuts now. To keep donuts out of play, next time, have the chamber throated appropriately for the intended bullet, so that bearing is well clear of donut area. Everything about preventing donuts comes down to sound gun/cartridge design and rational sizing allowed by that. Redding body & Redding bushing die. New brass. Maybe a bigger magazine & new full seating testing to bring the bullets out a bit. [/QUOTE]
