[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2731020, member: 116181"] I just went and took the die off the shelf, the only thing I think I did to it was drill out the neck in the sliding sleeve to 3/8 (I think? A 3/8 bit passes) to let 338 LM brass into the bushing. Maybe I never had problems because that cut "fixed" the shoulder angle issue by shortening the shoulder relative to the bottom of the bushing. [S] Everything else looks original in the die[/S]. I added a bearing sleeve to the bushing stem so the inner sleeve doesn't have to compress for the case neck to enter the bushing. No case should touch the inside of the sliding sleeve at any point, that's the point behind it being a neck die. I use this die mainly to set false shoulders for fire forming improved cases, so it never tried to bottom a bushing into the neck/shoulder junction even though it probably could. Would work perfectly to minimally half-size a neck to blow out a case for measurements for a custom die. I'm aware of what we're talking about. 👍 Have a good day. [/QUOTE]
