[QUOTE="Kalle "Cully" Hyrkas, post: 486799, member: 27184"] I need some help here. I just got my RCBS Rock Chucker Press, Redding Dies (including the Type S-Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die, which of course comes without the bushings) Berger VLD Hunting 175 Gr. 308 bullets, powder, primers, etc. Everything except my Lapua Brass. I thought I would get familiar w/ my stuff and check seating depth, and try to figure where 0.010 off the lands would be, you know, stuff like that. I have once-fired Nosler Custom brass, Federal Premium once-fired and American Eagle (cheap stuff - You know, first few boxes through the new gun) and with all of it, I can push the bullet all the way through the neck with finger pressure and not even make a scratch on the bullet. Redding says to load several loaded or dummy rounds and measure the neck. Then subtract 0.002 to get the proper size bushing. I can't even load. What do I do? Do I need to crimp? I'm shooting a new Remington 700 TIR Bushmaster Custom Shop 308. I just bought it in December. Am I just being stupid? Please don't laugh.... [/QUOTE]
