[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 401587, member: 4191"] I'll express my disagreement with the premise of this post. I believe it's much more complicated. I've experienced differing bullet tension when pulling bullets after seating bullets in cases that have been re-sized with different diameter neck bushings, simply as observed by the force on the press handle required to pull the bullets. Even more dramatic is the reduced force on the press handle required to pull the bullet a second time, after it's been seated the second time in the same brass case, without resizing the case neck prior to seating the bullet the second time. I'm not referring to the force required to seat the bullet. I'm talking about the force in the opposite direction of the throw of the press handle - the direction to pull the bullets. Target shooter's go to great lengths to obtain the same neck tension on each load. They don't run their case necks into different neck bushings or reloading dies, as if neck tension would remain the same. To complicate matters further, brass case neck elasticity changes with continued firings, resizing, and reuse. [/QUOTE]
