[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1816674, member: 112579"] I have a 30 nosler and it was shooting poor. But it was very easy to seat the bullets with redding dies. Hmmmm measured sized to seated and only .001 neck tension. So I ordered a bushing die. Sized it sown .004 and bingo!!! Tell me if I am wrong but I think with slow burning powder the higher neck tension helps with a burn start. As the other gentleman said the downside is working the brass more. But if it gives me the result I want I do not care. Anneal more often. I do it the old school way. I stand the cases in a pan with a 1/2 inch of water and use a propane porch to heat the neck to a red and tip them over. Very scientific 😝 But it works. [/QUOTE]
