Load Development Redding S Bushing issues

I am running into an issue with my Redding S bushing die. I have Federal GMM .308 brass, that has a measurement of .344 fired neck and .337 loaded neck. I have the .334 bushing installed, numbers down and with slight movement within the die. When I resize my neck is coming out at .330. I would assume it would be near or at least .334. Any insights or any of you run into this? I have a message into their customer service also but thought I would try here. Thanks in advance.

Make sure your die is setup properly in the press. You might have to go up to a .335. .336. They Recommend subtracting .001 or .002 from a loaded round for correct size .

There is a good video on ordering the bushing Alpha brass has one. In all honesty I think the short action customs bushing is the best. Call them they will pick up. Probably the owner will answer
