[QUOTE="fightthenoise, post: 2130647, member: 100546"] I've started sizing 1 thou under caliber with a bushing and expanding using a caliber sized (not smaller, not bigger) mandrel to turn the spring-back around so that it's working in the direction of the bullet as per [USER=1521]@Mikecr[/USER] recommendation. I thought the bullet would just fall out but it seems to be in there pretty tight. Neck tension (interference fit, sorry, don't yell at me) seems to be about 1 thou by my before and after measurements. Maybe even less. From what I read, that isn't actually a measurement of neck tension, as the bullet becomes your mandrel if you don't use one and you always end up with a spring-back's worth of grip (0.5-1 thou worth). I've loaded the rounds but haven't yet shot them. I'll report back. [/QUOTE]
