[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 659599, member: 5302"] I too, called Sierra. The man I talked with said they're still full length sizing all their fired cases with Redding full bushing dies reducing body diameters a little bit and setting shoulders back a thousandth or so. Their bushings are a couple thousandths smaller than a loaded round's neck diameter. I think that what Philip meant by recommending using a full length die to bump the shoulder back then backing off a hair was to set the die such that the fired case shoulder is set back only a tiny bit. Such methods size the body down a couple thousandths, too. That's full length sizing because all three surfaces get moved; body diameter, shoulder distance from case head and neck diameter, not much but just enough. Philip was the person I talked with and he agreed that their process is full length sizing of fired cases and is what he prefers to do. I'd like to know how much your fired case bodies are reduced in diameter and shoulders are set back (if at all) using your full length sizing die in the process you call neck sizing only. In the reloading industry, if only the body and neck diameter are reduced and the shoulder moves forward a bit (which is common with this procedure), that's called partial neck sizing. [/QUOTE]
