Harrell's Precision Die

Not yet.

Setting up that Die kicked my butt for two days until I figured it out.

Use your stripped bolt. No need to even own a case comparator. When your bolt goes over halfway down then you feel the case then your die is set perfect for that round of brass. Sometimes its .001, sometimes its .003 bump according to your rifle. And sometimes if you measure them and bump .002 you end up with .005 according to where your brass is in its lifespan, so use your bolt not a comparator

Any results yet??

Finally had the chance to use it today. Everything went smooth. By the fourth case I had a .002" bump. Took a lot more die to shell holder contact that I am used too.

With my slightly skimmed necks, my .266" bushing isn't going to be small enough. .265" on the way.

That's a neat little Die for sure,
Glad it's working..

 

[#40Fan]

Hmm, maybe that .266" will work. I was fiddling with the dampener today, but had some promising groups.

Wilson bushing?

Wilson bushings at one time were tapered a half a thou. If you flip it over you'll likely get an extra half a thou.

If it is throw it out or send it back

That's why I use the Redding bushings.

If you like redding bushings youll love crt bushings

I have over 100 Wilson bushings in both steel and plated, and probably 75% or more of them have the .0005 taper on one end...

 

[JFrank]

Personally I don't see a problem with Wilson bushing.

Id be changing brands. A tapered neck bushing has to be bad for neck tension. I know my redding, crt, and mundy carbide ones do not have a taper. The rcbs ones are even marked on the side because they go either way. I do have a set of certified pin gages to measure them too- not that it matters as long as my tension is good on the paper

Taper is fine,they know what they are doing.

That is just an example of poor machining and "made in hurry".
To heck with the quality, got to keep those profits up.
