[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2129545, member: 10755"] I have used every method...I no longer own a single bushing die. I run honed neck FL dies with modified expanders and a mandrel as the final size. I like a max movement of .003” in any direction, including spring back calculation. I cannot feel my expanders running through my necks, my mandrels move the brass .0015”, my dies move the brass .0015” and the expander moves it .0005” or thereabouts. The only time I move brass more than this if it requires extra neck tension, as one of my 300WM barrels likes .004” tension and gets a different mandrel and die set, which is a pain having multiple dies for the same cartridge. I use Forster BR FL dies with honed necks for each of my 6 300WM rifles/barrels. Oh, I use the 21st Century mandrels. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
