[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1124436, member: 28965"] Why would one do that depends on if you have a standard off the shelf factory chamber "OR" a custom tight chamber. Bushing dies require neck turning or else case neck imperfections are pushed to the inside of the case neck. Too much of what bench rest shooters do with their tight neck custom chambers filters down to to people with off the shelf factory rifles. On top of this sizing the neck down over .005 with a bushing can induce neck runout. I have five .223 full length dies and my bushing die gives me the worst neck runout and the Forster die gives me the least. Bottom line if you would have read my entire first post I posted a link to Accurate Shooter and Forster will hone your Forster dies to any neck size you request. And my main point being anyone with a standard off the shelf factory rifle in my opinion would be better off with a Forster full length die with its high mounted expander. [/QUOTE]
