[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1196691, member: 64108"] The idea in reloading is to keep everything the same every time. With neck sizing only you will eventually have to resize the whole case and then you changed something in the process. I think a lot of people feel that by "full length" they really mean just bumping the shoulder back about 0.002" and neck sizing. Measure 5 fired cases from base to shoulder then set your die up so it bumps that measurement back 0.002", and adjust the neck bushing on how much of the neck you want sized, and what bushing for how much neck tension you want. This way you are not over working the brass. If you set the die all the way down to the shell plate it may push the shoulder back way more and you would overwork the brass unnecessarily. Annealing the cases every couple firings is beneficial as well. Others may chime and add as well, lots of info on this topic here [/QUOTE]
