Time to move up in the world so decided to move up to bushing dies so I can turn the necks.
Bought Redding die (type s for .204) and the bushings to get the job done...sort of.
So to turn the necks first I need to resize the necks and I'm assuming from all the reading i have done that I have to resize necks down to the shoulder?
My Hornady die goes down to the shoulder and I can then turn them fine but no matter what I do I can not get the Redding die to neck size to the shoulder. I stops about .060" from the shoulder.
I have applied dye to a number of cases to check this but am wondering if I'm missing something or have a bad die?
The case on left is Redding case, one on right Hornady.
Case holder is touching bottom of die.
Decapping rod not hitting.

I guess I could continue to use the Hornady die prior to turning and the Redding after that.
