[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 659685, member: 30902"] No, in this procedure you are not partially resizing the body unless you are working with a caliber that has a straight case from the base to the shoulder. When you set the die such that it just bumps the shoulder and then back it off, you stop before reaching the shoulder at all. When the neck length grows beyond spec, I'll set the die down to bump and then turn it down another .003, work the cases, which would essentially be partial full length resizing, and then trim all the cases about .001 shorter than spec. Once I have a load that I like I'll load up couple or three hundred of them, and no more than I shoot these days that'll last me a couple of years for all of my long range guns other than the varmint rifles which for now I'm just shooting factory loads in and saving up brass. That way when I do load again, it'll all be the same lot numbers of powders, bullets, and even primers in most cases. [/QUOTE]
