[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 865649, member: 9215"] I don't know what is meant by 'neck size only when needed'. I don't know as it's ever needed but it sounds good. Mostof us learn that it's value for both accuracy and case life is vastly over rated. Neck sizing only helps accuracy if the loader is doing a poor job of FL sizing. Cases usually fail with split necks and, on average, common neck dies work the necks as hard as any FL die. (Lee's unique collet neck die does greatly reduce cold working necks so cases do last a little longer, and do it without the fussyness of bushing sizers.) Real advanced reloaders usually properly FL size and generally avoid neck sizing but virtually every one has to try it and learn the truth for themselves. Expander balls in conventional dies are there for a very useful purpose and sizing without expanding causes more problems than it solves. [/QUOTE]
