Success

I successfully polished my collet mandrel down 1 to 1 and a half thou. What a difference to seating tension. It now gives the tension as if i was running the cases through a full die then seating the bullets.

Thanks to all members who gave advice on how to correctly polish the mandrel, step by step. i had doubts when setting the die up that i was not doing it correct, but after fine tuning and experiementing for some time i could only put it down to the mandrel being a shy to big.
