[QUOTE="jraulsten, post: 2378280, member: 96652"] Just to try something different, I have decided to give this mandrel thing a go. I've always been pleased with the results from using Redding Type S Match full sizing dies with neck bushings and carbide expander buttons, but want to see if removing the expander and using a mandrel instead will have any effect on ES and SD. I'm looking at the 21st Century die with the window and their caliber specific mandrels. I'm not ready to go all out on the mandrel kits so where should I start? How far do you size down with a bushing and then what size mandrel would you run through to get around .002 neck tension? Say I'm sizing ADG brass for a 7 SS, would a .283 mandrel give me the desired tension with spring back? [/QUOTE]
