[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2825233, member: 69478"] Under sizing brass causes clickers. Minimal sizing as you claim causes clickers. Tight chambers and dies that don’t size enough cause extraction issues. It’s a pretty well known fact. Your thought process and “plan” would lead to clickers within 4-6 firings. The brass has to grow enough for the dies to actually size it. If it’s not sizing the brass just work hardens to the point it causes difficulty extracting. Neck sizing causes the exact same problems as a full length die that doesn’t work and doesn’t actually size enough. As I previously mentioned, look at Hornady’s 6.5 and 300 PRC SAAMI reamer dimensions, then look at the brass dimensions. Do a quick search on here or pretty much any other forum and you’ll see that the tight/minimum chamber specs compared to the brass causes clickers and extraction problems. The fix for it, chamber the barrel from the start with a reamer .002 bigger at the base, or open the existing chamber up with the larger base diameter reamer. This is a pretty common issue that tight minimum reamer dimensions and minimal sizing causes. [/QUOTE]
