Been loading 308 for several months for F T/R, but now trying to really up my brass prep consistency game with Redding comp dies, neck turning tool, and concentricity gauge.
My question is where neck turning falls in the brass prep sequence.
In my mind I would neck size, then full length for shoulder bump, then turn. But if the expander mandrel produces a neck tension looser than my neck bushing, do I then neck size again after turning? And if I do that, wouldn't some moving brass possibly affect my shoulder bump? Help, I'm in a do-loop and can't get out!
Or is the answer simply that the expander mandrel won't be looser than the .001 - .002 tension?
Thank you!
