Don’t have to do 20 trick moves to make a Redding bushing die work. But sometimes a guy needs a bunch of different (expensive) bushings to find the right neck tension. A LCD with a selection of (cheap) mandrels sanded down to achieve desired neck tension is easier and can often result in (slightly) straighter necks.

That was my thought. When something shears before it stretches.

Recently I've just been lubing the case neck with a can of Walmart Spray Lube, from the automotive dept, and squirt that on a Q Tip, and twirl it in the neck. Then my last step is to anneal the case neck for 7 second ( 223 cases) face down via a Plumbers torch. Sorta burns off most if not all of the lube I put in the neck.
Been doing this, because of turning a lot of 223 brass once fired range pick up, into 6 x 45 brass.
Seems to be working just fine, and not a lot of expense involved.

I use RCBS lube when using a regular die. Used to use Qtips to apply but some time back I got a bore mop, .22 size I think, that I roll on the lube pad. I have and use Lee collet dies for most of my reloading needs. miles

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
