[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 659418, member: 29890"] Necksizing is like having a tailored suit, if the action is true and the chamber is straight a fired case fits that chamber perfect, then you size the neck to get the desired tension. In most competition rifles I have seen this gives you .001" total runout on a loaded round. Bumping the shoulder is fine, .001-.002" doesn't really effect a whole lot however it is still working the entire case trying to push it back to the tolerances of your die, in turn its still harder on brass and causes more runout, typically .002-.003". And with neck sizing I can't see any reason that 100 pieces of lapua brass won't outlast your barrel even if it did go 6500 rounds. My point is you can do it either way, the most accurate shooters use competition bushing neck dies to squeeze out all it has, others go your route because they are way easier and faster to chamber. Tell your bubby with the .7" group that he needs to join the IBS, he could have all the records and win everything. [/QUOTE]
