I was curious, and since it's difficult to measure with calipers, I added it to my last order.

www.uniquetek.com/product/T1522

With my Redding sizer die with carbide expander ball, they are all reading 0.223", right on the edge of the line marking. I was thinking about removing the expander and using the bushings to increase neck tension. I'm curious for advice on what is more likely to be an optimal measurement, using the bullet as the "expander" when I'm loading them. I don't have any plans to turn the necks, I was just hoping to optimize neck tension.
 
Well right on the website you posted it says optimal size is between the .218 - .221 size marks.
 
Go to Ballistic Tools....the actual maker. I ordered one directly from them several months ago and the instructions are all in PDF form on their website.
