[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 222290, member: 873"] I have successfully partially neck sized using the full length sizing die setting the die to size only the first 1/4" of the neck. Yes you do ever so slightly touch the very upper side walls of the case doing this. As far as bumping the shoulder back .001/.002 this IS FULL length resizing and where all of my dies are set. Remember this though, if you are shooting a repeater rifle for hunting and use the magazine I strongly suggest that you try each and every cartridge PRIOR to going afield for proper functioning thru the magazine. (outsided please!) The problem with this process also is that once you get them set where you like and achieve your accuracy loads you may find them hard to chamber where then you have to full length resize them to ease chambering issues hence lost of die setting. If you want to really go with neck sizing get yourself a setting of bushing dies for neck sizing. Then you only have the infamous doughnut to deal with not a big issue though. [/QUOTE]
