[QUOTE="robert rex, post: 3063812, member: 96806"] I swore I wouldn't jump into this barrel of hedgehogs, but here I go. On a benchrest rifle I anneal, use a LE Wilson full length bushing die. I use a 21st Century hydro press with a PSI gauge, and an in-line LE Wilson seating die. I want to seat every round to 40psi. I take a wild *** educated guess at the correct bushing. I resize it, run a Erik Cortina non-lube mandrel thru it (also a guess), and inside chamfer. I then seat this dummy round and see what PSI it seats to. If it's too light go to the next smaller bushing. Inertia hammer the bullet out and use it for a fouler. Typically every successively smaller bushing will add about 10psi. I do the same process with my hunting rifle but shoot for 60psi. The no-lube Cortina mandrels are magic by the way. [/QUOTE]
