Re: bushing sizes

.330 - .336 will cover any .30 caliber round from neck wall thickness of .012 to .015 with .002 to .003 of tension.... or at least thats what I bought and use.

Measure the neck diameter of the loaded cases that you will be reusing. Subtract .002" and thats your bushing.

It's not a bad idea to have a -.003 bushing as well.

Re: bushing sizes

The smaller the number the less the tension? And by changing the tension it may or may not help with accuracy?

The smaller the number on the bushing, the greater the tension
The smaller the number in 0.00x the lesser the tension
