Sell I made another FNG mistake. I had a Forster die custom honed for proper neck tension using sierra match king 168/175 bullets. Just for giggles I started doing a little load testing with Berger 168 VLD Hunting bullets. Everything was going fine until I measured the size of a loaded round with the berger and realized it is .002 under my custom honed die size. Now the real trouble is my rifle has the chamber neck cut at .3450 inches. As a solution I ordered a Redding Type S full length bushing die and numerous bushings. I'm thinking this will be a two step sizing process now as I don't want to try and run my fired case neck tension from .3440-.3430 down to .332 in one step. Any thoughts on this? I'm going to try sizing the first step down at .336 then running them into the .331 bushing. Maybe this will help avoid pulling the necks to far out of whack.
