[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1976487, member: 313"] I just started reloading for a 6.5 PRC and borrowed a set of Redding Type S bushing dies. I'm using ADG brass that was once fired in a buddy's rifle because I can't find any brass. Necks (inside) were cleaned using an old bore brush with a little steel wool wrapped around it. While seating some 140 Bergers I noticed that seating pressure was high and that a ring was being imprinted on the bullet's ojive. Loaded rounds had a neck diameter of .292". Sized brass measured at .283". I thought I found the problem. I yanked the bushing and found that it was a ti .286 bushing. How could a .286 bushing leave necks at .283? I had a .288 ti bushing on hand so I tossed that in the sizing die. Neck were only slightly bigger and still noticeably smaller than the bushing. I would have expected a .288 bushing to be about right with about a .001" spring-back and a .003" of remaining neck tension. It barely helped at all. Has anyone else experienced a problem with Redding ti bushings? What am I missing here? [/QUOTE]
