I'm looking into getting a Redding S-Type Full Length Sizing Bushing Die for sizing 6.5 Creedmoor. I've been using a standard RCBS die with the expander ball, but want to get away from the expander ball in favor of controlling neck tension with bushings. But, looking at Redding's site, it looks like the S-Type dies still have an expander ball/mandrel in them? If so, what is the bushing doing if you're still pulling an expander ball/mandrel through the mouth after the mouth has been sized by the bushing? I must be missing something. Can someone help me understand how these dies work?
