    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    Fuzzy probably does understand what you're saying. Do you? So explain why there are different neck tensions in the same lot's of brass that go through the same process of prep every time? And while you're at it, look back to my first response to the originator of this thread to find the answer...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    That is an excellent choice. Read the instructions through. Dealing with concentric neck thickness and the possibility that the neck could be slight off center is somewhat covered in the #2 section as well under Option(not in bold) : "Even greater accuracy can be obtained by rotating the case...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    No one has said a smaller mandrel won't make a tighter bullet fit. Section 2 of Lee's instruction says you can polish or special order smaller mandrels. The issue is you have stated that tightening the collet down won't do the same, when Lee's Own instruction guide says it will. Toward the end...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    Well chuck, because squeezing the brass (which is a malleable alloy) from the outside in is exactly what creates the tension on the bullet. Who suggested anything at all about decreasing the diameter of the mandrel besides you?? How do you adjust neck tension in a Collet.

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    Hate to burst your bubble, but the only way to adjust neck tension in the collet is to tighten it down for more cam over. The mandrel does stay the same throughout, that's obvious, however if you have different thicknesses of brass neck, it will make the neck tension different. That isn't...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    I like the Lee collet as well. The only problem I've found is the brass neck thickness need to be the same to have the same neck tension on the bullet. To get that you have to turn each case, which I believe takes more life from the case than the a fore mentioned Redding neck & bushing set up...

    Loose primers?

    Primers can sure be finicky. I have a .25 06 that performs best with WLR primers, a 7mm 08 that prefers CCI 200 , my 308 prefers CCIBR2. I haven't used any wolf components. Do you find them to be consistent? Which domestic starter would you say they closely replicate? I have found the Wolf...

    Loose primers?

    I have found Winchester primers to be small compared to GM210M or the CCIBR2 , I also have found that CCILR mag primers to be a good substitute for the Win's

    Alliant 2000-MR

    So with the Alliant being not as temperature sensitive but not quite as accurate as IMR4064, if both were readily available, which would get the nod?
