    OOPS!

    Goofing around in the shop yesterday I wanted to see what would happen if too small a neck sizing bushing was used on a freshly annealed Lapua .223 case and the run in a mandrel. Not too surprised, but a bit of a chuckle on what came out. I normally try to use a bushing that will size to just under where I want to be and then run the mandrel. Lapua has thicker neck walls than Starline so a larger bushing needs to be used. Whatta Hobby!
