Searched and got some info but wanted to ask these specific questions.
I don't turn necks and use a FL bushing die. For 28N it is custom Whidden and for 280AI and 6.5cr it is Redding Type S.
Do you recommend expander balls?
If so, what size? Whidden is ..003 below bullet diameter and my neck bushing is for .002 neck tension. I can buy diff size balls for Whidden.
Is a better alternative to use an expander die? And if so, to get .002, should I use a .003 bushing and expand to .002? Or both at .002? I anneal after every firing.
Thx
