[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 514493, member: 9215"] [I]"I like the fact that's it will prolong my brass life. ...."[/I] That's not a fact, not automatically anyway. IF the reloader FL sizes properly (many don't) it won't make much - if any - difference in case life. Most cases die because of neck splts and most neck only dies work the neck as much as FL dies. [I]"Also I am not sure why you say neck sizing won't hellp me."[/I] Didn't say that; effectively said it would take a lot of learning before it makes any difference. Contrary to popular opinion, many (skilled) reloaders using factory rifles obtain equal or better accuracy with FL sizing.
