[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 549872, member: 15748"] Mada, Don't skip the resizing step, even if you "can" in some cases. Ideally, you want your ammo (especially hunting ammo) to chamber just like the factory stuff does; smoothly with virtually no pronounced resistance. Neck sizing will eventually give you problems unless you really (REALLY!) watch your measurments closely, each and every time you process the cases. I recommend full length sizing as a general rule, with very few exceptions. Life's just easier that way. Boomtube's perfectly correct here, also, in that some cases can be neck sized by backing off a F/L die, but most cannot. Depends on the configuration of the case, but as a rule, backing off a F/L die actually results in what's correctly known as "partial sizing." To my mind, that's a bit of a non-solution, and brings its own problems to the mix. Full length size using a full length die, and neck size (if you must) using a proper neck size die made for the task. [/QUOTE]
