Undersized
After reading many different reviews on the pros and cons of neck bushing dies vs full length dies I decided to go with the Redding Bushing die. I selected the Redding product based on the many positive reviews and comments. Upon arrival I visually inspected the bushing and then got out my Mitutoyo Dial caliper and took some measurements. I was pretty disappointed to find that the bushing was undersized. Bushing was supposed to be .289 but measured .287 consistently. I had three of my coworkers use the same caliper and without telling me what their measurement was, write it down and then at the end we all compared notes all measurements came in at .287. I have since found more reviews that specifically state similar findings of undersized bushings. I have higher expectations from this company. Now I could buy additional bushings hoping to get the "correct" size but I am actually more inclined to go with another company's product.
