[QUOTE="WestCo, post: 1566597, member: 75676"] I believe that the titanium bushing might not need any lube if you are making a necked down cartridge from what I've heard, however I use mainly steel bushings and seem to have good results with them as I'm not a competitive shooter. And getting a few different sized bushings a couple thousandths on either side of desired tension due to variance in brass is a bit more affordable. However, there may be some guys that are much more educated than I am in reloading that have better advice on the bushing type pros and cons. As far as depriming, I've used a FL bushing die without the bushing and running the decapping rod down well below the mouth of the die and with out the expander button on to deprime (just make sure to reset it before actually full length resizing so you don't bend it) , as well as used a decapping die. However, lately I've been using the decapping punch and really like it. That is useful for getting precise measurements on all parts of the brass after it has been fired for bumping the shoulder back, fired neck size, etc... But as stated above, there are probably more accurate and educated guys that will give their .02 worth, just telling you some of my experience. [/QUOTE]
