[QUOTE="Lpart, post: 1387424, member: 25642"] I hope this isn't preempting this thread but I have a question re the mandrels as I am thinking of going that route and forgoing the expander ball. I want to experiment with this with my 6.5 CM. I am a little surprised at my measurements. My mandrel measures .262 bullet is .264. Sized case with my current Forster die with expander ball comes in at .256. A piece of fired brass without resizing is .255 from my rifle. The mandrel will open my sized case to .262. Is .002 difference between that dimension the .264 for the bullet enough tension? If so, should I be going to a bushing die with a bigger bushing, say .262 when I resize to work the brass less? Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
