[QUOTE="Skinny Shooter, post: 92936, member: 716"] [ QUOTE ] Skinny Shooter, full-length sizing dies have neck diameters small enough to reduce a fired case neck much smaller than a loaded round's neck diameter. Then the expander ball enlarges the neck enough to tightly hold a bullet. So, lapping out a full-length sizing die's neck to a few thousandths smaller than a loaded round can be done. It's been done by many people. Such dies make much straighter sized cases than when an expander ball is used. [/ QUOTE ] Now that makes sense to me and I'm pickin' up what you're laying down. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Forgot about that reduction in ID that the die normally does (whoops). Sounds like an idea to try sometime. What about just using a bushing FL die to get the same effect? And, couldn't you lap a bushing easier than the neck in a FL die? [/QUOTE]
