[QUOTE="woods, post: 226380, member: 6042"] Hey Tikka With the neck die you just need to adjust it in your press according to the instructions and resize the neck. It will not size the case body or push the shoulder back. You leave the expander ball in and make sure and lube inside your neck like with any expander ball type die. After firing the loads always set your rifle up and rechamber the fired cases to check for a crush fit. A crush fit is when the bolt is harder to close than it would be with no case in it. If you meet too much resistance for your liking then it is time to push the shoulder back. Redding makes an excellent Body Die that will size the case body and push the shoulder back. You use it after neck sizing with your neck sizer. If you get the opportunity, get a Lee Collet Neck Sizer. With those you don't need to lube the inside of the neck and you get better concentricity.
