Neck bushing brands? 20 practical

[jetboat]

Reading posts on forming 20 practical from 223 cases I'm not sure what brand of bushings to use.
Some bushings measure +- what is stamped on the piece. Also some can be turned over to change the neck dimension? at least that's what I read. I'm using a Redding S die.
Forester bushings are less expensive than Wilson or Redding so would be my first pick providing the quality is equal or better than the others.
What brand will be the best choice??

With the Redding die you'll have to use Redding's bushing. I heard the ones coated are better (more accurate). Myself i use the regular.
Which die are you using??

I don’t know what’s best but I’m using the Wilson stainless steel bushings in my Redding die when forming for my 20 Prac. I have only loaded a few hundred rounds thus far but I have not had any issues.

No. I get about half the runout with a Redding S bushing die when I use Whidden bushings, than if I use Redding bushings. Depending on the brass you use, the bushing size will vary.

I believe Redding and Wilson are interchangeable. I use Redding for all my rifles and don't feel I'm having any problems.

My bad. There's so much different brands i gladly admit that i have not tried them all.

CRT bushings are the only ones for me. I have pin gages. They are right.

Will these fit a Redding S die?

Yes. Cant think of any bushings out there that arent interchagable except some custom dies such as neil jones, etc.
