[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1544734, member: 2736"] You will get many different opinions on this and will have to decide which way you want to go. Dies are rarely the exact same as the reamer/chamber (Close but not perfect) so 1x firing best matches the brass to YOUR chamber. I recommend the minimum sizing to maintain this fit. In my opinion, this is a case of less is more. Try a fired case in your chamber to check the fit. IF it chambers smoothly and with no effort, it only needs to be neck sized if it takes a little effort, do a minimum neck and body sizing until you get the feel you want. when you get what you want, Lock down your dies and it will be repeatable and should maintain best fit to your chamber and better case life. If you are shooting a semi auto you will need to full size each time to get trouble free feeding. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
