Best place to buy bushings?

[cdgaydos]

As others have stated, unless I’m missing the issue… you will need to turn your necks down so the loaded round fits in your chamber neck… which will require new smaller bushings to achieve the same neck tension after the necks are turned…

Yes,, That was mentioned. Always used a .266 for no turn.
Bought.265,.264, .263. Just in case.
Turned my first piece's today.
Was super easy.

What is the diameter of the chamber neck currently ?

I’ll be the odd man out with never having any issues with stainless steel Wilson bushings, I always place them in the die with the numbers facing up.

I concur!

.269
Loaded round after turned is .266/.267

Dave, thanks for catching that! I reckon they are right, if you write it wrong, you most likely will read it wrong!

I have always used steel bushings. Never had a problem. If the necks are reasonably clean and lubricated you should never have a problem. The only benifit of TiN coated bushing is it is a harder surface. They are not self lubricating. Never got brass transfer/ galling onto my steel bushings.

seen a ton of that over the years….went back to honed FL non bushing dies. some reason I never had it happen with non-bushing dies, but bushing dies just love to do it to me,

The light just came on..
I've used this particular bushing for
3-400 Cases with no issues until...

I changed my case lube from 1shot to Seal1 which I spray on my finger tips and lube case bodies not getting any lube on shoulders or necks.

Note to self, self your not a complete dumb ass

I always got it, always use imperial sizing wax and made sure to hit the neck. After a couple hundred pieces sized, I'd have to remove the bushing and run some kroil on a dowel with super fine sand paper to clean it out.

So, Im missing some of this conversation,

What is it again y'all are discussing?
Is it the issues of using steel bushings?

Are bushings interchangeable with different die makers? Say Wilson bushing in Redding dies?

Yes, Wilson, Redding, Hornady, RCBS, Whiddens interchangeable
Forster is stand alone thier dies only take thier bushings.
This is exactly why I don't buy Forster tools and dies.

Don't understand the streaks on the neck. If you don't see dirt or copper adherring to the bushing, then something besides the bushing must be causing the problem. The streaks have to be caused by a surface that has high spots. Looks like you chamfered the neck o.d. In my experience the only time I got streaks on a case neck was when I didn't chamfer the neck o.d. and little pieces of brass got broken off the rough case neck edge and dragged between the bushing or FL die and the neck. I had brass galling in a FL die once due to not chamfering. Done 1000s of cases with a bushing no problem.

I figured it out.
I switched from spraying my brass with 1shot to hand lubing with a different product, I wasn't lubing the necks outside before sizing.
I just spun a bronze brush wrapped with a patch and JB's in the bushing and sized 50 pieces with no issues.

I worked in petroleum reseach. I like a light vis pet oil to lube cases. Cheap and it has great film strength. Film strength means a good microscopic thickness film of fluid seperating 2 surfaces sliding against each other.
