[QUOTE="Hunter2678, post: 922953, member: 47460"] Buy a FL [B]bushing[/B] die..and the appropriate bushing sizes per your application..its (FL bushing die) main purpose is to control "neck tension" which is what you are asking about if I read it correctly...however you will run into accuracy issues if your neck tension is too tight or too little...it will depend on what your neck measures with a loaded round..whatever that reads the standard agreed upon school of thought is use a bushing die that measures 2 thou less. For instance my 6br loaded neck OD measures .268..therefore I use a .266 neck bushing in my FL bushing die. The easy way to tell how much neck tension your current die is making is measure a loaded rounds neck OD and then measure the resized die's neck OD...if its less than 2 thou its most likely too little tension. If 2-2.5 then Id leave it alone If its 3 thou or more you've probably got too much neck tension. [/QUOTE]
