[QUOTE="Gene, post: 539398, member: 7402"] The general rule is choose bushings .002" - .003" under loaded round diameter. I usually select one size I hope will work, then also buy one of each thou larger and smaller, in steel bushings. So you have three to work with. You could later sell the extras, and buy one titanium bushings. Make sure the necks are tight enough to hold bullet securely. BTW, In my 30 BR I have numerous Redding bushings, but the .323 has worked well. I bought a titanium, and accuracy went poof!! Returned to the steel bushing, and accuracy restored. So, you should not completely trust the listed dimensions. I note you are using RCBS bushing sizer. I would check with them and ask whether the bushing should be inserted numbers side up or down. Reddding says insert them down. It can make a difference. [/QUOTE]
