Thank you
I use a 0.292 bushing in my Redding die with Lapua brass and 143grn eldx.
Perfect thanks for the info
I guess it depends on how much neck tension you want - I use 290
Isn't the size of the bush dependent on the tolerances between the bullet, case neck, and as mentioned, the target tension ?
Given we're working in thousandths of an inch, surely this needs to be measured, to get the tension (2thou' ?) you want ?

Not forgetting elasticity
Like me you measure stuff all the time and understand deflection "cut" or a spring pass lol but for people who never do this or understand how metal moves then they struggle. I made Paul a de-capping pin from silver steel cherry red dipped in oil then tempered to blue.
"best pin I have ever used" end quote lol
Good point, and I think that unless you're annealing, so that the brass is always loaded from the same starting point, it's probably a mute point using a bushing die in the first place ?
