[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2420233, member: 1521"] I don't use FL sizing dies. I use body dies (for body & shoulder), and bushing neck dies (for partial neck sizing). Most 'FL bushing' dies are body-bushing dies, and function as integrated to what I do. They're not actually FL dies. There are true FL Bushing dies, which include full neck and shoulder in the bushing. These are among the most expensive reloading dies ever made, and suck completely. Don't buy or use them. I adjust neck tension with neck sizing length (of a given down sizing). I don't seat bullet bearing into donut area, and I never exceed seated bearing length with my sizing length. If I FL sized necks, I would be bringing donut area into tension (bad variable), and causing binding on bearing-base junction of bullets (bad variable). In the history of reloading there has never been a 'need' to FL size necks, and there has never been a benefit in doing so. Zero gain -Only loss [/QUOTE]
