[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2202430, member: 1951"] Without the Whidden option of an expander mandrel of a variety of sizes, my next choice would be using a K&M custom ground mandrel. Frankly, I like to set neck tension by under sizing by about 0.001” and then expanding with a mandrel. I like it all in 1 die, but can be done as separate operations. The key is getting the neck tension you want without excessive movement of the fired neck. The best way is when you can control chamber neck clearance too. My 6mmPPC numbers are 0.269” chamber, 0.2665” loaded round, 0.265” neck bushing....I forget the mandrel diameter. [/QUOTE]
