[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1544834, member: 2736"] As mentioned early, the chamber and load pressure determines sizing practices. certain rifles need full length sizing (For many reason) and other chamber/loads don't require anything but neck sizing. I will never TELL anyone how to size their brass because I don't know the quality of their chamber or the pressure of their load. That's why I recommend sizing only enough to function properly and achieve the best accuracy. We are sometimes our own worst enemy and because someone says to do something,We do it. Some of my rifles require totally different sizing's and I set up for optimum performance in all areas for that rifle and don't subscribe to any one method. I do what the rifle tells me it likes the best. If a rifle needs a special set up for the dies, I first find out what i need to do to make the changes needed. Often, I use feeler gauges under the case head and once I have the needed dimension to determine the amount of sizing, I machine that much off the shell holder and test it, If all is well, that shell holder becomes a permanent accessory to that die set for that rifle and is marked so. Other chambers will allow standard setting practices for dies and shell holders so locking down the die will normally give you what is needed. all of this information should be written down in your rifle loading data book. Lastly, the type of duty the rifle in used should control the amount of sizing needed. It would be nice if one method worked for all chambers, loads and uses, but in my experiences it has not proved out that way. JUST MY OPINION J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
