Both. I size with a bushing and no expander ball then run them through a mandrel to set neck tension.

For more precise neck tension. Thoughts from the experts ? Are you having accuracy issues with your current setup?

I have to fight the urge to change things based off of youtube. Then I remind myself that my RCBS full length 2 die set gets me great accuracy and SDs in the teens and sometimes single digits. Then I remind myself that those numbers aren’t as important for hunting ammo that we want to think it is. Then I take the money I was gonna waste on “upgrading” and buy more bullets with it 🤣🤣
