Bought a FL die with the neck bushing.
Measured and ordered my bushing.
Now curious - is there a wrong way to put this in the die? Engraved numbers (denoting constriction) up or down?

I've been putting mine in numbers up but they do seem to have a bevel on both ends which would keep thing simple.
I never saw a note stating which way was correct either..

I've used them both ways and couldn't measure any difference.

Thanks - figured I should ask. Necking Lapua down to 7-08 and didn't want to crush any...

If you are necking down Lapua 308 to 7mm-08 run them through the die without a bushing first to partially neck down, then again with the bushing. Alternatively neck down with a standard die and use the bushing die for reloading once they are fire formed.
