[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1374526, member: 2736"] In the "Old" days we ground and buffed the expander ball in order to get the best neck fit, (It could be turned true for a more concentric shape. But then you were stuck with that Diameter and if your new brass was thinner/thicker you ether had to buy a new expander or a new sizing die. This was just as expensive or more than the bushing, I have and use both types of dies where I need them. The main advantage with the bushing dies is brass life, especially if you shoot and load a lot. The average hunter doesn't need the bushing dies because of the number of firings yearly. With todays accuracy standards, every part of precision loading is important. Also honing out the die neck can be tricky with the risk of getting it off center because dies are normally heat treated and to hard to bore on a lathe. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
