Thank you for doing the experiment, that's what was hoping it would show.
How far "down" is the expander?

How far "down" is the expander?
I'm not at my shop so I can't grab a Redding die. Do they have "fat" stems or thin?

I didn't measure. Redding emailed me right back and said send it in with a few pieces of fired brass, so I packaged it all up and have it ready to go.
I'm impressed with Reddings communication. I'll keep everyone updated.
Good on them.

I wonder if they slipped you a 27 Nosler neck die?
.270" ID is .014" neck tension! That would even be a lot for the 27 Nosler, at .007" neck tension unless you are running a .275" expanding ball.
In my Redding FL bushing die for my 28 Nos, I am running a .312" bushing for ADG brass and it gives me .003" neck tension.

I use a .312 SAC bushing in my Redding die with a .2825 mandrel to give me .002" neck tension.

Lance, how do you get the cool hieroglyphics on your brass?

Old Egyptian enchantment. Works well for desert environments.
