WHY SHOULD YOU USE A BUSHING TYPE SIZING DIE

Conventional sizing dies are designed to work with any combination of rifle chamber and cartridge brass that is with in SAMMI specifications.  To do this, conventional dies size the entire case down smaller than minimum SAMMI chamber dimensions and then expand the case neck back up to accept a bullet.  The result is that the cartridge brass becomes work hardened, brittle and eventually it splits.  Work hardened case necks can deform soft lead bullets.  Sizing the case body decreases its capacity and increases the amount of compression need to get a given charge of powder into the case.

Bushing type neck sizer dies size only the case neck and they only size it down enough to hold the bullet properly.  If you are using one of our Easy Seater Straight Line Seating Dies and have properly chamfered your case necks, you may find that you will not need to use your expander die at all. 

To determine what size bushing to order with your die, measure the diameter of several of your loaded cartridges. If these measurements very by more than 0.0015 inches you may find that the accuracy of your reloads will increase if you separate you brass in to lots of the same neck thickness or turn you case neck.  This will be true regardless of what die you use. Subtract 0.002 inches from your smallest neck diameter and order that diameter sizing bushing.  Extra bushings are available as well as a kit containing all of the bushings available for any caliber.
