You will get mixed opinions on which way to size your brass. I like neck sizing my brass, some of the best groups I have ever shot was with neck sized brass, so I never stopped. They do become hard to chamber after several firings. I usually get loose primer pockets around the same time, so just start over.Let's see how quick this one deteriorates. Because this is such a new ball game to me I will pose another elementary question, should I full length size or just neck size my once fired brass through the savage at this point in the game? I currently only have 100 rounds of brass. I know someone will tell me to buy lapua or Norma brass but what I have right now is remington brass. I fully understand that it is not the best brass as my savage is not the best rifle but it is what I have on hand at the present. I would appreciate any helpful input in this area as well.
BTW don't worry about your Savage not being good enough. They shoot tight right out of the box, they don't need truing by a smith. All three of my Savages shoot sub moa. My Savage 10 .243 is a 1-9.25 twist and it shoots the 85 grn SMKs under a inch with multiple charge weights of IMR 4350. The 105 Amax is supposed to do well with this twist rate, but have yet to try them because of the several hundred 85 grn SMKs I have on hand. You can shoot very far with your gun, you just have to stay within your stability parameters..
