I really like the Redding Dual Ring Sizing die as it gives me optimal neck tension while not overworking the body.
Other manufacturers have to decide on a compromise between optimal neck tension and how much they want to over size the rest of the case. Some make better choices than others. With the Dual Ring die the different sized rings mean you don't have to make that compromise on the size of the carbide ring.
I've had friends over to use my press to finish loading (charge, seat, crimp) their .38Spl rounds. Every now and then, they'd have a case that allowed the bullet to fall in when place in the case mouth. Running that case through the Dual Ring die (after removing the decapping pin) fixed the neck tension...these were usually the thinner R-P cases
Thanks
