Redding bushing sizes

[paulT]

Will be ordering a redding competition neck die set soon and was looking for info about titanium bushing size for the comp neck sizer die, I will be using Lapua brass neck sizing only using lapua 105 molly scenars in my tight chamberd 243 factory blaser lrs2 rifle and would be greatfull of any info on correct bushing sizes, i understand i will need to buy a few but would like to know what range should be good to go, Also what neck tension should i be aiming for with the lapua mollys along with how much portion of case should be neck sized, Thanks for help, paul.

FWIW, I can give you the info on what I use on my .243, Pac-Nor barrel, no neck turn chamber -

Using Lapua .243 brass and 115 DTAC bullets the neck diameter on a loaded cartridge measures .273" so I use a Redding .271" TiN bushing to get .002" neck tension.

Of course YMMV

Paul:

Here is a link to the Redding web site where they have info on how to select the proper bushing size:

Redding Reloading

You will need to know the neck diameter of your "tight neck" chamber, also.
