[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 293743, member: 1007"] For me it depends on how tight my chamber is cut. If it is cut to very tight tolerences I tend to just FL it every time as I am only moving .001-.002" of brass. So in this case, I could use either a body die and bushing neck die or a FL bushing die to save time but I still prefer the 2 different dies for more options. If all I had was a FL/bushing die, I would be stuck always FL sizing. When I have a slightly larger chamber, I tend to just neck size only untill they start to get a bit "tight" in the chamber, then I FL size them. The only real advantage I see to using a FL/bushing die versus a body die and seperate neck die is you have one less step and save more time. So for your new 25-06, I would ask you how tight the chamber demensions are before deciding on which route to go. As far as leaving a donut on the neck, I am not sure that is the answer. If you leave that much unsized, you wont be able to "bump" the shoulder which isnt always needed but at some point will be. These are just my thoughts and humble opinions from dealing with my particular brass and chambers. Others may have a different approach. [/QUOTE]
