[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1110067, member: 74902"] Might be good to only neck size for the first three firings, since the brass does not always stretch to the full length of the chamber on the first firing. Once they get hard to chamber, you know you have found the end of the chamber. Then setup the full length die to just bump back 2-3 thousands. This will help the brass last longer and aid in keeping the bullet aligned in the chamber. Also might try not resizing the full length of the neck. only the first half to two thirds. This can also help with bullet alignment. I doubt speed will be much different after resizing once shot brass. Really just depends on how much it stretched and how much it was set back. Pressure can be less if there is now more air space in the chamber. Grouping might be more accurate since alignment in the chamber may now be better. [/QUOTE]
