Brass Brand ='s different bushing size?

[Pinmaster]

So I decided to try some Peterson 6.5c brass. Case prep included running the case through the Redding match neck die with a .288 bushing. Well, I should have taken more time...
My factory loaded Hornady ammo measures 2895 in the neck, so I use a .288 bushing with Hornady brass.
When I loaded the Peterson brass it measures .295 in the neck when loaded with the same 140 ELDM pill.
The Peterson brass is thicker than the Hornady . H is .013 and the P is .015 when I caliper the thickness of the case in the neck opening.

My question is... since I used the .288 bushing does the Peterson load have too much neck tension. .295-.288='s .007.
So
Shoot as is and use a different bushing next time...or dump the powder out of the Peterson brass and start over with a full length resized case?

That's because there's always a difference in brass thickness between brands.. measure the new brass and go from there. You will have to either reduce or increase your powder charge depending on the brass measurements

This is one of those times when owning a mandrel comes in really handy.

You need another bushing. I have about 8 bushings for 30 cal

This or a new bushing or just simply put your expander ball back in.

This. That's why I just stick with lapua brass and only need 1 or two bushings max.

OP: You could also try the lee collet die to get the appropriate neck size. Many ways to skin a cat I suppose.

That is what I will need. The Redding competition dies do not come with an expander. So I will need something to open them up.

I do have several bushings so I will get it right next time.
