- If the brass has hardened and is difficult to resize, consider using the bushing in the reverse position as an emergency measure.
- Always measure the neck diameter of your loaded cartridge before selecting the appropriate bushing size to ensure proper neck tension.
Instructions for Installation and Usage
Selecting the Correct Bushing Size
- Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge.
