Bushing size

[edpmedic]

I do not have brass yet but going to order dies. Off hand what size Redding bushings do I need for the neck sizer for the 6.5x284.
Most likely will use 142SMK's with Norma or Lapua brass. Savage F-open rifle.

My fired cases from a 12 F/Open measure .2965", so I'm guessing a .297" no-turn chamber is whats in there.

My Lapua cases are neck turned to 0.014", giving me a loaded round of .2925". Unturned cases varied from 0.0133 to a little over 0.015",not a good lot, apparently).

I'm using a .290 bushing for 0.002" neck tension, and have a .291 and a .289 on hand.

HTH,

Monte

I am shooting Lapua brass and 142SMK's and my loaded round measured .294 so I am using a .293 bushing seems to be working fine

sorry I have not answered I just had a hernia operation that had to be done over. Anyway 280man is that for a Savage rifle?

I am going to order everything by Monday. I have been in no mood to even deal with reloading but time is getting close and I hope to be able to lay prone by the first Bodines match
