Loaded Round Neck Diameter Question

[Vartarg]

I'm getting back to reloading for the .204 after a lengthy period of time devoted to 6BRX, 6.5 Creedmoor and .243 Win....and would appreciate some feedback on what size neck bushing you folks are using, and the diameter of loaded rounds.

Measuring some of my loaded rounds from a few years ago, I find they range from .226 to .228, and when I looked in my Wilson neck die, I have a Redding .225 bushing.

What kind of dimensions are you finding on loaded rounds, and what size bushing do you use?

I feel like Rip Van Winkle....waking up in a world I don't know.

Thanks,

George

When i used a Redding Comp neck die or Rcbs Gold Medal Match FL die i used .224 ,.225 titanium bushings;usually got best groups w/.224.You will have to see what shoots best out of your gun.You might ask any friends to lend you a different size bushing,in the past i bought cheaper steel bushings;found out what worked the best,then bought titanium bushings.My loaded rounds go.2255 to.2265 Gettin old SUX Some days CRS
