[QUOTE="wboregon, post: 1459308, member: 102916"] If you have a loaded round in the brass you plan on continuing with, just measure the neck diameter of the loaded round and shoot for .002-.003 smaller for the bushing. or you can measure the thickness of the brass at the neck with a micrometer times it by 2 and add the bullet diameter then again shoot .002-.003. .002-.003 seems to be enough tension for me, especially if I'm seating something like a Nosler ABLR as the jackets start to indent while seating with much more neck tension than that. you can run .003-.004 with thick jacket target bullet and have no issue though, and you might want to play around with it and see what you like [/QUOTE]
