I did my measuring a few years ago and came up with .255 bushing size I thought I needed. I used it and seating was very hard so I went back to using my full length dies. Fast forward a few years I decide to get it back out to play with and need to find out the correct bushing. I don’t see how in the world your using a .251 unless I have something bad bad screwed upI use a .251 in a Redding Die.I hope this helps you Tommy Mc. My Gold membership is up. Time to RE-UP Tommy Mc
I don’t have a set of them handy, im getting .258 loaded, My bushing is .255. Im on way to load now. It’s been a few years since I have played with this gun and these dies so maybe I won’t have any headachesMeasure one cartridge with a bullet seated. Measure the outside diameter of the neck. If possible use a .0001" micrometer. The 10,000s of an inch measurement really helps split the hairs. Then order a new bushing for your Redding die that is .002" smaller than the measured neck diameter with a bullet in it. The reason for using one bushing .002" smaller than the neck diameter with a seated bullet is to allow for spring back of the brass.
For my Redding S-Type bushing dies, I usually have two or three bushings in .001" increments for whatever cartridge. That gives me an option to experiment with neck tension.
Neck turning…I don’t see how in the world your using a .251 unless I have something bad bad screwed up
