[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1070326, member: 10755"] Just because your cases measure .002" smaller than bullet OD DOESN'T mean your neck tension is uniform across all cases. Differing hardness will effect the actual tension, also, not all rifles like .002", some like less and others require double that for consistency. My 300WM likes .0015" or slightly less, but this IS a neck turn chamber, even though a .002" skim gets the job done on Norma cases. This is why bushing dies are helpful, you can purchase 2 or 3 different sized bushings and experiment up and down in tension, or you can buy several bushings, not all bullets like the same tension either. If you try several differing tensions, you will find the appropriate tension pretty quick. I found mine with less than a dozen shots. I like using FL style bushing dies, Forster being my favourite.
