I've been reloading for awhile, started with basic RCBS dies and as my level of accuracy increased I moved to Redding S-type bushing dies because I thought they were better. Never had a problem with either. Now I've started looking into getting a 22 Creedmoor and listening to what others have been using as far as bullets, brass, and dies. The topic of a ring of carbon on the brass came up. I believe the person said bushing dies failed to size the brass completely and left a ring of carbon on the neck/shoulder area and was giving him trouble chambering.
Never thought about it before but I guess the bushing would most likely be chamfered a little to allow the neck to enter into the bushing. This would prohibit the brass form being fully sized and could cause some inconsistencies when chambering the round.
True? Thought?
