Which Forster Bushing for resizing Nosler brass?

Hi have a Forster die which came with .224, .226 and .228 bushings. Resizing with .226 and .228 left too much slop in the neck which leaves me with one other choice, the .224. Was wondering if anyone else had the same setup and brass as me, and what bushing they end up using. I'm wondering if I should have one more bushing at .222".

Can anyone using Nosler brass tell me what they are getting for outside neck dimensions with loaded ammo? Please tell me somewhere around .224 to .225". Bonus if you have 35 Bergers or 29 Sierras.

Thanks very much

I know this post is now dated, but for the record, all my .20 cal loads mic .228" at the neck with a bullet seated, no matter what brass I'm using. I neck size with a .226" bushing.

Along with Rick's information. All my 20 calibers mike .228 with bullet seated and I also size with a .226 bushing. Bill K
