[QUOTE="bert2368, post: 1149619, member: 93675"] Which neck size die? I have accumulated about 60 pieces of 1X Lapua and 2X Nosler brass at this point. I intend to go forward with Lapua. Neck of a loaded round using Barnes 120 gr TTSX in new Lapua brass measures .294 OD pretty consistently, and the 1X fired Lapua brass measures .297 OD before resizing. I used both a Starret 1" micrometer and a Mitutoyo dial caliper on 5 samples of both loaded and 1X to take these measures, they were in good agreement. So- Do I need to invest in bushing die sets, or can I get by with a single traditional neck size die? I have RCBS or Redding neck size die and full length size die for pretty much all my other bolt gun calibers, but have never used any bushing type neck dies. I find a lot of references here to the bushing dies... Advice? [/QUOTE]
