[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2783919, member: 74061"] Fired diameter does not matter, it’s easy to just measure the diameter of a loaded round in the brass you will use. it’s loaded diameter minus your desired neck tension… common is .002 to .003. you can FL size without an expander ball and use a 21st Century mandrel or pin gauge to set your final neck tension or you can FL size without using either expander method. I wouldn’t do this if my case necks were out of round or dinged up. or You can also use the expander ball that came with the bushing die. unless you buy bushing neck dies, you will be able to bump the shoulder. IMO short action customs makes the best bushings hands down. Runout is improved over all others. They are expensive abiut $35 each and they tend to sell out fast. the less you work the brass the slower it will stretch and the longer it will last. Annealing helps, but the brass will keep flowing and primer pockets tend to loosen. [/QUOTE]
