Thread: Bushing dies

Just to mess you about some more.

In 6.5 Cm and 260 Rem I use bushing dies and get good results out to 600 yds ( 1/2 MOA on a good day ) Neck turned bladdy blah everything done that I can do.

In a 308 TR with standard dies I still get 1/2 MOA out to 600yds and basic case prep ( clean pocket, clean case, shoulder bump ( with the expander in) and load.
I have just gone to collet die and will get a proper bump die when they need pushing back. (Havent shot any yet)

I think for the out lay you are on the right track with getting the collet die etc. With the bushing or the collet its all about understanding the neck tension you put on the projectile.

Just re read your post and see that you have to send the cases away etc ..... so that will probably negate the Lee die as a price competitive option
