[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1374545, member: 2736"] Well made custom dies are always better than the after market dies because they are made to fit your chamber using fire formed cases. I guess I have been lucky because I have never bought a set of Quality bushing that I didn't have to tap in the dies (They were a close fit and would not drop in. To remove them I normally just unscrew the bushing retainer and run a case through the die pushing the bushing out. If I ever get one that just drops in I will knurl Or shim the bushing to fit. Thanks for the heads up, I will be more diligent in checking for this so I don't have to deal with a lose bushing. I have and use a concentric tool for checking load concentricity and have not encountered this problem yet. Some dies will except other manufactures bushings but I don't mix brands for this reason. I have made my own dies for some of my wildcats and tried both types (Bushing or non bushing) and find that both load very concentric ammo and find that with todays brass, Bushing dies are easier to get correct neck tension. PS: I turn all of my brass before sizing or fire forming so I start with very concentric brass and don't load and shoot non prepped brass and risk offsetting the neck. Just My method J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
