I will use N-133, and what is the best bushing for correct neck tension with this powder?
 
bushings..

A 0.257" will give 0.003 - 0.004" neck tension.....133 likes lots of squeeze.

Yes but do get the "3" typical bushings used for .262 necks with a neck turned to the .0085 .0087 range.....> .257 / .258 / .259

In a .262 neck I like to turn my necks to .0081-.0082 and use a .256 bushing for N133. Good shooting...James
 
Why the different size bushing?
Well, my dear, because different rifles and different bullets and different powders and different loads shoot better with different tension.
One variable might well be the diameter at the pressure ring of the bullet.
Last year I was using a .256 bushing when using Bishop bullets and .0086 neck thickness. When this snow goes away or melts down a bit, I'll have to check again.
 
The bushing size you use will depend on the thickness of your necks. Many believe that N133 power prefers neck tension. If you cut your necks to .0086 then you may want to look at a .257 bushing, if you cut your necks thinner to .0081 then you may want to use a .256 bushing.
