Bushing size recomendations

[TrxR]

I am getting ready to order a redding type s die set and was looking for bushing size recommendations. I will be using Lapua .308 brass and will not be turning the necks? I will also be using one of the Berger 185's if that makes any difference. Also are the titanium nitrates worth the extra?

Thanks

308+14+14=336. 336-2=334

Mic your brass to make sure it's .014

Sorry, just marking this for future reference, I will soon be in the same boat

Depending on your chamber, you may have to size down in two steps to maintain concentricity. What's the outside measurement of the neck on a piece of brass that's been fired in your rifle?

Immike where did you get .014? Is that specifically 308 Lapua brass neck
wall thickness? IMHO it's not as straightforward as your equation
suggests. That's one reason the die manufacturers instruct you to use
a loaded round measurement as a baseline and if you are reloading
for a gas gun make sure to use a Wilson gauge or equivalent to check
whatever you end up with.

Also I would go with the nitride bushing. I originally bought the plain steel
bushing and didn't like the feel (tight & erratic). I ended up buying the
nitride bushing (easy & smooth) spending more money in the end.
