[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2090514, member: 87371"] I think maybe you are not recognizing in your original post that the neck walls might be of a different thickness on different pieces of brass, so you will want to pull a resizing ball or an expander mandrel through it before trying to load a bullet into it. That's the reason I turn the necks on my benchrest calibers before I load it the first time. That way I know the neck walls are a consistent thickness, so when I neck the case down the first time and then run an expander plug into it, I will end up with consistent inside/outside diameters - and hopefully, consistent resistance when the bullet begins to move.
