As a rule of thumb, you would want to size you bushing about 2 to 3 thousands smaller than what the neck mikes for a loaded round. I have a tight neck custom barreld 17 Rem with a .195 neck and I turn the cases to be .1925 with a loaded round. The bushing that I use in my Wilson die is .191.

Hope that this helps, Phasor
