[QUOTE="Steve Sheasly, post: 1710790, member: 103826"] I found this on Larry Willis website he makes and sells a digital headspace gauge for those of you who like to full-length size. "Resizing dies are designed to make handloads fit inside the SMALLEST chamber of a particular caliber. To make things worse, rifle chambers are always made to accommodate the LARGEST factory ammo made anywhere. Machinists call this "tolerance stacking". This means that your handloads usually have quite a loose fit in your chamber. The next time you put the crosshairs on a long range target, you have to ask yourself "If my handloads are small enough to fit any rifle in this caliber, and large enough to not get ripped apart when fired [B]. . . . [/B]is that really close enough?" I believe that the top BR shooters do indeed full-length size but there is more to this story. I choose not to. I hunt and shoot a bit at the range but 100 cases will last me years. I have never had one stick in the chamber. After 7 or so loads I full size and start over. [/QUOTE]
