Bushings to size entire neck?

[bodhisafa]

Need to by a new bushing for my new 6 GT Newlon sizing die and would like to purchase a bushing that sizes the entire neck....which manufacturer offers such product?

None unless you like jamming your case necks into a squared corner.
The chamfer is there for a reason and the minimal amount of unsized neck left isnt a big deal unless you are necking down far enough to create a false shoulder situation. Which I doubt since youre doing 6gt and probably buying the cases already formed.

Redding is pretty standard one.

Short Action Custom’s is designing their own bushings which will hopefully be available soon.

I like L.E. Wilson bushings personally.

Wilsons are tapered, you can run them upside down. But......why ?

(what Spife said.....).

I like them because the finish is better, and the chamfers are more consistent. Redding’s are all over the place.

Never owned any Reddings, but that doesn't come as a surprise......

Funny this thread came up today. I just put this all to the test. Basically precisely what Spife said is all true.

I sized my 1x fired lapua a little "not enough" into my redding FL die and it left a little lower portion of the neck, where it connects to the shoulder, not sized by the bushing. Well I was worried it might impact groups so I went out and shot a 5 round group at 100 yards and it printed this .29moa group and that INCLUDES the cold bore round too

And this was just like 3 days ago.

They are tapered because some brass has tapered thickness in the neck wall. FC 308 brass for example. A tapered bushing will give you a straight inside. This will give you even seating pressure.

I’m responding from the standpoint of having brass that has been neck turned. I tend to believe that L E Wilson tapers the ID for the same reasons that Spife mentions. I’m not saying either way is right or wrong, what I am saying is that for all of my bolt gun neck turned brass, I run the buttons right side up, which yes, results in tapered neck tension from mouth to shoulder. Is it “superior” ? That one, I can’t answer.
