[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1295032, member: 78762"] I feel the same way about FL sizing as BountyHunter. In not so many words, I FL size to have the same case dimension every time. I try for .001" set back and see if they chamber without a lot of bolt lug tension, if not I go to .002". One thing I think about is the case being sized enough to self center in the chamber. The shoulder angle will center the case in the chamber and if you have a good strait chamber, you are setting yourself up for good consistent accuracy. If it fits tight, it won't center in the chamber properly, and you would have to mark your case and index them in the chamber the same way each time to achieve what a FL sized case can do. If you have a custom rifle done by a good smith, this all may not be a problem, if you are using factory barrels, you could have a banana shaped chamber and that would fight a neck sized case every time.
