I looked at the SAC bushings but was considering if they were enough better in order to justify the cost. It sounds like you think they are?

It sounds like you are annealing after resizing? If so annealing before resizing should give you more consistent spring back. In conjunction with my previous post, the 2 step bushing sizing helped me a lot. Since my small hole gages are spherical, I was detecting a smaller diameter at the neck...

In all my years of surfing the reloading forums I have never read of anyone referring to using 'Small Hole Gages', for measuring case neck ID? I have used the pictured Starrett gages for 20+ years. There are many references to Pin Gauges, am I missing something? I have assumed the pin gauges are...

I have worked through this same issue, of the neck ID being sized under the bushing size. Sizing a turned neck down more than .006 or .007" caused the neck to be under the expected size. I have sized the offending necks down to a number smaller that my K&M neck turner arbor then used that arbor...

Yes partial neck sizing & bumping .002 on the shoulder. This is working well on .223, Win 243 & Grendel. I believe it will also work on my 300 wm's shorter neck but I haven't tested it.

This annealer just flat works. I have been using his original unit for 3 years.

I use a type S Redding bushing die and adj the bushing sizing depth to a point above the typical 'donut' area of the neck shoulder junction. My thoughts are that the un-sized portion of the neck aids in maintaining bullet concentricity in my factory sized chambers. Also the possible 'donut' then...

Hmmmm, I just enjoyed many informed & thought provoking opinions on sizing with Redding & other dies in this now 12 year old thread. Time well spent for me.
