Sizing Die This custom resizing die has some advantages over conventional neck bushing style dies. 1.) On our die, both the neck and shoulder are included in the bushing, not just the neck. This is a better design because it allows excess sizing lubricant a place to escape and not make a dimple on the shoulder of the case. It also allows changing the bushing to make a caliber change (say, to a 6.5mmXC) or you can make a shoulder angle change (say, to 45 degrees) and you can still use this same body die. You could effectively use this die for any caliber and any shoulder angle as long as you use the .22-.250 as the parent case. Click HERE to see how to choose the right bushing size. 2.) By having an integral neck and shoulder bushing, the entire case neck is able to be resized, unlike a neck bushing full-length sizing die in which the very bottom of the case neck is NEVER resized. Plus, having the neck and shoulder bushing consolidated is an asset to alignment and preservation of concentricity in the sizing operation. 3.) Since the neck and shoulder area are one piece, it is also possible to adjust the amount or extent of case body sizing and shoulder set back independently, without compromising and being unable to size the full length of the case neck to prevent having too much shoulder set back. I like to have the full length of the case body sized (die threaded fully down to shellholder) and then adjust the height of the neck/shoulder bushing independently to specify the amount of case shoulder set back (this process is explained on Page 5 in these instructions). 4.) This die comes with two different bushings for use in sizing, and a third bushing designed to be used to determine cartridge case headspace when used in conjunction with a set of dial or digital calipers. The use of this "gauging bushing" will be explained later. The two sizing bushings have different neck diameters and, thus, will result in different amounts of case neck tension. The bushing diameter is clearly indicated on each bushing. Keep in mind that the sized case neck will be approximately 0.001 inches larger than the actual bushing diameter; this is due to spring back in the brass. 5.) This die features a tapered expander plug (.17 cal. to 6mm [.243 cal.]) to neck up the parent case's .224 caliber neck diameter to .243. The taper greatly eases this operation and results in less stress being placed on the case neck. 6.) The die also has a separate decapping pin retainer for use without an expander plug. The expander should be unnecessary once the case has been fire-formed (this retainer won't expand the neck when you resize). Selecting a Sizing Bushing Two neck/shoulder sizing bushings are included with the die set. One is .265 diameter, one is .267 diameter. Depending on the make and lot of brass you're using, there may be different neck wall thicknesses. I choose a bushing that gives me 0.003-plus case neck tension on the bullet. In other words, I measure the sized case neck inside diameter and want that to be 0.003 smaller, or slightly more, than the actual bullet diameter (0.243 inches). Another way to do it is measure the outside diameter of the case neck of a loaded round and subtract 0.004 from that figure (accounting for spring back in the brass); use the bushing that is closest to that figure, but err on the side of the smaller bushing. My experience has been that the only real danger is having too little neck tension to hold the bullet (less than 0.002 inches difference). z Sizing Note Due to differences in wall thickness and brass characteristics, different brands and lots of brass may size "differently" than others. The best way to proceed might be to size a few cases using each bushing and see what the end results are by measuring outside case neck diameters before and after seating a bullet into them. That is the sure way to determine case neck tension, and, therefore, which bushing to choose for routine sizing use. Sorry, but custom size bushings are not available.] [GO TO NEXT PAGE] x SAFETY NOTE: Reloading ammunition is a potentially dangerous activity.
