LE Wilson Bushing FL Sizing die

[Dave M.]

I'd hafta know *ALL* they are doing. Likely they are neck turning. I am not. So I use mandrels. Quick and easy path to consistent neck tension.

Its like guys that use 108 octane to go fast. I like to go fast, but there's a reason I don't use 108 octane in my car.

It’s not though. The difference in wall thickness is still causing uneven hoop stress forces being exerted on the bullet. If you are using Lapua brass (fairly consistent neck thickness), try just using a free floated bushing with a diameter .002-.004” smaller than your loaded round neck diameter (measured with tube mics and not calipers if you can help it).

You gonna buy all that for me? Everybody has a theory. Everybody is 100% sure they are right. I've spent WAAAAAYYYYY too much $$$$ chasing what everyone told me is *** SURE**** to work. And it didn't. Time and again. It gets old. I can't afford to keep doing it. I'm glad to test everybody's sure bets....if they'll front the money, and then I'll reimburse if it works.
