shaun Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have a set of redding compition dies with neck sizer that when a bushing is inserted and everything tightened the bushing still has a lot of movement. It only sizes 2/3 of the neck as a result. Is there any way of adjusting the micrometer so there is less play with the bushing?

Wildcat69 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I had a type s bushing die not long ago and I have been told that you should always have a little play as this would help to centre the sizing and reduce run-out. I believe you can adjust the amount of area sized but 3/4 sizing is maximum you can get if I am correct. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 are you using an allan key through the top to adjust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 No not adjusted the screw on the top, I thought it only let you zero the micrometer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 mmm it was just a thought it might give you more adjustment if you have run out on the micrometer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeB Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Use another bushing of slightly larger internal diameter as a spacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a bushing die without micrometer adjustment and the necks are ~70% sized and they work for me. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan.308 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 hi is the bushing just to say touching the case holder on the ram of the press when the ram is all the way up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 hi is the bushing just to say touching the case holder on the ram of the press when the ram is all the way up? When the ram is all the way up its fully compressing the sleeve. It might just be how it is but with my s type bushing die for my 6.5x47 I can tighten the bushing right down.

shaun Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks Chris But your "2 second search" still deosn't explain why the bushing is still rattling about after everything being tightened down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
