[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2376997, member: 101791"] I am getting into using bushing FL dies, and mandrels. I so far gotten a Gen-3 case length cutter, and a 21st Century neck cutter for thickness. Ran into problems with mandrels that didn't fit the ID of the new cases. So I had the mandrels cut down to fit the neck for both operations. I would have done this several months ago, but just got the case to work with. It was recommended to me to cut the neck for thickness first before sizing down the neck to the caliber I am going to use the case in. I have gone as far as to setup to step down the neck in 3 stages, because going from .284 or 7mm to .243 or 6mm. The spring back I haven't determine yet. What size bushing and mandrel to use to get the tension I believe I am after. I have gotten several bushing to be able to set the tension. So presently it's kind of been a guessing game. Today I will get the thickness cutter set up. What I have come up with is: Need to set the COAL of the case first, to be accurately the thickness cut to stop at the correct spot and not cut into the shoulder. I am looking at annealing the case somewhere in the down sizing. Steps, Steps. Thanks to the LRH form to change my ways to reloading, to the better. [/QUOTE]
