[QUOTE="jshelton2006, post: 1023238, member: 84094"] My FL 22-250 expander ball measures .2225, so has .0015" neck tension. Redding recommends .002" for their type S die bushings. My 308 FL die has .003", and the 308 neck die has zero. Thats what I'm not understanding. I've always heard Redding dies are among the best on the market, so that's why I use them. I would think it would all be consistent. I also don't think I would have a problem with once fired Hornady Match brass, but I guess it's a possibility. Regardless, I don't see how a .308" expander ball gives enough neck tension to hold a .308" bullet. I understand it springs back a little but it obviously isn't enough. I guess I will just give Redding a call tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
