[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1296541, member: 12193"] I would avoid option #3 if possible. It will work the brass more than necessary and result in 2 things: More case trimming required, and fewer firings before case head separation. The advantages to #1 are: Brass fits chamber more closely. Least amount of working the brass. Advantages to #2 are: More consistency across all firings since shoulder is bumped every time. More reliable and consistent chambering of cartridges. With match quality chambers and proper FL sizing you are not working the brass very much. This is my preferred method. A lot of factory chambers are more roomy though, and you might see greater benefits from neck sizing. I would do what works for you. [/QUOTE]
