Dies

Received the fl bushing die today. I set it up and sized some cases. It made a huge difference in the effort it takes to size a case. Will see how the necks last on the new brass.
 
Let us know how it turns out, but it does sound like the old setup was putting some excessive stress on the brass. Since the expander was further down in the die than the case neck is long, the kind of binding I described was not the issue. Thick brass and too much resizing, exactly as you suggested originally.
 
Code:
With a .291 bushing my inside diameter is .261. Don't feel likes it is even using the expander pulling the brass out of the die. My outside diameter with a bullet seated is .294 so I have .003 neck tension. I also got a .290 bushing should I need it. Thanks everyone.
 
I haven't lost a piece of brass from a split neck since I started using the bushing die. I have some with 10 firings on them.
