[LenH]

i just got a .263 neck ppc barrel for my br rifle. what wilson or redding bushing should i use for proper neck tension? i use a 258 for my other barrel, would this work? thanks LenH

It depends upon how much clearance you are running on your necks. You should be able to use somewhere from .260 to .258 on your bushing sizes. I'd use .002" clearance for a .261" loaded round diameter and a .259" bushing.

depends on what size your loaded round is. I use a .263 chamber and my loaded round with one bullet is .261 on that bullet I size to .259. On the other bullets I use the loaded round is .2615 and it likes a .260 sizing bushing.
I would say to size to .002 under loaded round.

Yes it will work. If it provides more neck tension than you want try a 260
