Thread: FL sizing without expander ball

Redding body dies...

Works the neck a lot less.

If you want consistent neck tension, look at turning/reaming, and collet neck dies.

What he said.

Redding body die, turned necks, expander mandrel and bushing neck dies.

I never use the expander on any dies.

Redding body dies "work the neck a lot less" because they don't they touch the neck, just the body and shoulder.

I've never found neck turning to make any difference to accuracy on factory chambers so gave it up a long time ago. Matagouri 's method works well if the reloader hasn't a bushing die.
