[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1122540, member: 1521"] Forget book lengths, or the common notion of trimming all to shortest. There are prices for everything, so best comes down to what you can manage. Heavy FL sizing will lead to lengthening that will have to be trimmed away as you go, and you don't want to run into chamber end. On the other hand, tight clearance reduces carbon sooting/ES. I like 5thou under chamber end, 10thou max. It's not about barrel life. There is really no reason neck length would affect barrel life. [/QUOTE]
