Bushing dies: A neighbor/disciplined reloader asked me to alter a few dies for him. He has the only dies I know of that are a true bushing dies, and they are old; the dies have to be 55+ years old. The only way to get a set of the dies was to have a rifle built by the smith. My neighbor was his apprentice. F. Guffey |

I know this is old, but photos make everything better right?
It doesn't work. It resizes the bullet, which is then too small for the bore and you lose neck tension. I had rounds loaded for my factory Ruger AR556. The round worked well in it. I build a 2nd rifle with a 14.5" lightweight barrel so I bumped the AR556 upto an 18" barrel. Both new barrels (Ballistic Advantage and a KAK) were 5.56 chambers. Neither would work the my loaded rounds, the headspace was too tight. I guess the factory AR556 chamber had a lot of head space. So I tried to just resized the loaded ammo....the results speak for themselves. This is 50 yards. https://photos.app.goo.gl/41EoEQCwxWrzLjx23 |
