I need a little help on necking up.

[jsimonh]

I've read and read, but still want to double check what I'm doing.
I've recently took a step towards reloading my 284 with lapua brass necked up. I've been reloading for a while but never had to neck up or down.

As of right now my lapua cases have been necked up using a sinclair expander. Now I don't really know what to do next. I have a forster FL sizer and a Redding type S FL bushing die. Is it as easy as size and load now? Should I use the plain FL sizer for the first loading then move to the bushing die?

Next is my 6X47L is it as easy as running through a die and loading? I have FL sizers in bushing and non-bushing styles, both are forster. I've shot ten rounds that I just ran through the non-bushing die with no issues. I'm just not sure that is he best way to do it.

Lastly, could you guys give me a heads up on what problems to watch for when necking up and down?

Thanks in advance!

You need to give a good bit more detail to get good help - what calibers particularly.

When I size cases up, I usually just load and shoot after sizing... Using the correct mandrel of course..
I also shoot my 6x47 Lapuas right out of the FL die.......
No real problems with going either way if you use the correct stuff..........
