On the mandrel that sizes the neck portion of the brass, what diameter should this be for a .224 caliber bullet? Should it be .001 or .002 inch smaller for bullet grip? | ||

Are you talking about an expander mandrel? As in necking up to a larger caliber. | |||

.002 works for me. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill | |||

Agree on .002, when .001 was too loose for me on a Lee neck-size mandrell for my 6.5x55. I ordered the smaller one from Lee for $5. Jaywalker | |||
