What's a good neck/shoulder bushing and expander mandrel size combo for the SAC modular sizing die for 6.5cm? Im thinking 286 for the bushing and 262 for the mandrel? I got the 283 (which is technically for 25cm) and 261 for the expander mandrel. I watched and followed Gregs (from primal...

I’ve started running my virgin brass through my expander ball/bushing die for my 6GT before loading, and then when sweating bullets about one in every 10 rounds i suddenly feel a lot less resistance in the seating die and the bullet seats like 4-5 thousandths more than the rest. Is this just the...

Does bushing a firing pin change a rifle’s headspace to the point of it becoming unsafe, excessive, detrimental to accuracy, etc.?
Should I wait to have the pin bushed until I’m ready to rebarrel?
From the research I’ve done, it seems that custom shops (LRI, Gretan) either mention the topic or...
So I know "neck tension" can be a hot debate, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on using a bushing vs. an expander mandrel for obtaining a desired amount of neck tension. Right now I run all of my new brass threw a 0.263" expander mandrel (shooting 6.5 creedmoor) to obtain...
Hello all,
I have a JP LRP-07 on order in 6.5 Creedmoor and have started gathering reloading materials. I have ordered a Redding Type S Full Length Bushing Die, but I just received an email from Redding in which they do not recommend using bushings in conjunction with semi-autos. The reason...
I recently received a set of RCBS Gold Medal dies as a gift and I’m in need of some data so I can order the correct neck sizer bushings. The instructions on how to determine the correct size bushing is as follows.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a sample loaded cartridge, subtract .002"...

Thanks GoldenRod

First time using my Redding comp bushing dies, have always used standard FL dies in the past. I am using Blackhills match brass (Win) When they were loaded from the factory they measured .333"-.334" so I ordered a .332 bushing.

When using the Redding Type S Neck Bushing Die, is it recommended practice to lube the cases? In the Redding instructions they state that if you have the Titanium Nitride bushings, lube is not required. It doesn't state anything about the heat treated steel bushings that I use, which leads me...
