[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1878885, member: 52585"] Yeah new brass would have needed to be sized regardless. Just run it ththrough the mandrel which will give you .001 under cal. If using a mandrel it really doesn't matter if you use a bushing or standard die as it will under size it then you'll set final tension with the mandrel. To get the best results, you're to want to anneal otherwise you'll eventually work harden the brass which will cause spring back on your neck dimension. [/QUOTE]
