[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 422247, member: 12514"] Joel, I agree with you whole heartedly about Neil Jones. I have never heard anything bad about his dies. I am just making sure I do things right. I am glad you have his dies and do anneal. I just annealed 10 cases (another 1st) and setup the NJ dies. To no surprise, they sized perfectly with a little bonus! I have neck turned all my brass to .014 wall thickness. Needed to for tight neck. My loaded round measures .366 diameter. I used the .363 bushing Neil supplied. The neck are very consistent at .3638 diameter. So I will have .0022 neck tension :D. Also had .0003 runout after sizing 10 cases with his dies! I don't know but I do not think I will have any problem annealing and using the bushings supplied. I am used to neck sizing and bumping the shoulder back when needed. With Neils dies, I am full length sizing but to my reamer spec's. If I decide I need more neck tension, I can drop down one bushing size and have .003 neck tension. So far so good! [/QUOTE]
