[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 3065360, member: 122164"] I do not believe that there is a way to know which bushing will work the best without trying various sizes. I reload at the rifle range, and I have seen various sizes work better/worse per caliber. I suspect that powder burn rate, and primer choice has a impact. One thing for darn sure, as you give the bullet more grip, the pressures go up(.002-.005 bushings or mandrels), and it is trial and error to find what groups the best. Work hardened brass leads to helter skelter results, no matter the methodology used in sizing. A guy that is annealing with just a candle is way ahead of a guy that does not anneal at all. During reloading, pay close attention to how the bullet seat,. When you chamber a round in the rifle, also pay attention on how uniform the bolt is closing from round to round. [/QUOTE]
