[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 865671, member: 61747"] To clarify, are you saying to size the neck significantly under diameter and run a ball back up the neck to expand it to proper tension is the best way? I guess it depends on whether you agree with the experts who write the books or the experts who write on forums. The books all indicate that neck sizing is a proven method to increase accuracy and case life. Proper neck sizing involves bushings to resize the neck to .002 to .003 under the loaded case neck diameter. I am on the fence regarding this debate. I have done both for 35 years and found my best accuracy with neck sizing only and no expander ball. But that does not mean I have had poor accuracy with FL sizing. I prefer the neck sizing process at this point but it might be due to how easy it is vs any thing else. [/QUOTE]
