[QUOTE="woods, post: 1568258, member: 6042"] It is also possible to take your FL die and remove the expander, then turn the necks down to give you the bullet grip you want Example: (I don't have any FL dies anymore so operating from memory) Loaded for a friend's 300 Wtby and in order to use his FL die I removed the expander and IIRC the outside diameter of the neck AFTER SIZING sans expander was .332". So if I turned the necks down to .013" then I could get .002" bullet grip .332"-.306" (which is caliber minus .002") = .026" / 2 = .013" Essentially you are making your FL die do the work of a bushing die and regulating by neck thickness for bullet grip Doesn't work for all chambers and dies [/QUOTE]
