[QUOTE="woods, post: 402266, member: 6042"] The case where the bullet expanded the neck from .371" to .375" also returned to .373" after pulling the bullet [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN2128.jpg[/IMG] I then repeated the process and the only difference is that the case sized again without the expander now had an ID of .366" (additional springback?) [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN2125.jpg[/IMG] The case sized with the expander ball was again .371" [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN2126.jpg[/IMG] and both of the cases again returned to .373" after pulling the bullets [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/BULLETS/DSCN2124.jpg[/IMG] Now of course the question is - was there additional seating and pulling force with the vastly different ID's? IMO there was a little additional effort to seat the bullets in the case with an ID of .365" or .366" but there was no discernible difference to me in pulling the bullets from either case neck. The necks were cleaned inside with scotchbrite to remove burrs and scratches and inside chamfered (old pic, not of the 375 Ruger case) [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN1610.jpg[/IMG] and of course the bullets were boat tails.
