[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1664175, member: 107384"] It does seem sorta silly to use a bushing die to size and still have to expand the necks. I suppose for those that don't turn the necks they don't have a lot of choice. If one is resigned to having to size and re-expand I'd not use the ball or tapered expanders that come with the dies. IMO better to do a separate step and use the Sinclair die and I'd use the turning mandrels which are .002 under nominal bullet diameter to keep your necks straight. If you use the Redding competition seating dies then you don't want more tension than that or you could end up damaging the die or so they say. [/QUOTE]
