Killshot
X's matter....but 10s win (but damn, Xs feel good)
Began loading a year ago. Using Redding S Full Length Bushing dies.
Had some problems with insufficient neck tension and was advised to replace the expander ball with the decapping pin retainer. Any cases found to have any out-of-round mouths get straightened with a taper before resizing. Have had good performance so far.
I'm about to add annealing to my routine (after each firing) so work-hardening should not be an issue.
I measure runout, it's consistently under .002.
But I'm wondering, how many omit the expander from their sizing process?
Am I leaving anything on the table by not expanding?
