[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2905378, member: 15054"] sounds like you were having some issues with the bullet getting pushed into the case. When i load my stuff I set neck tension at .0015" or .002" and can go to .003" past that and no gains in anything . I measure neck ID say it is .002" smaller than bullet OD I call that .002" neck tension. I have Lee dies and the expander mandrel that goes inside the case I can chuck up in a drill press and spin it while I hold 600 grit and then 1500 grit sandpaper against it and make it smaller by .0005 or .001" or whatever I wish it to be. That way I have some custom sizing dies,, and for very cheap. usually between $3 and $8 for an extra Lee expander decapper. [/QUOTE]
