bushing choice for 308

What would folks suggest for a bushing,wilson die) for the 308 shooting Berger 168 Match or A-Max through Lapua or Fed. brass? I bought a .331 but think this is a bit small at least for the initial resizing,very hard to size in the press and the neck shoulder seems to get distorted). I was going to buy a .333 or .334 but wanted some feedback first.
thanks
 
favload: I determine bushing size by measuring the neck dia. of a loaded round, using the brass of choice. Ex: For one of my 6BRs w/ Lapua, loaded round neck is .269", so a .267" is my place to start, but I'll usually also get .001" larger & smaller, .266" & .268", for that occasional lot of brass that may be "different". Prefer the plain steel, for approx. $11, so I have more choices, for less $$$$ invested. There will be some sizes you will never use: that really hurts if it cost 3 times the price of the steel.
