[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1219792, member: 90399"] I'm a fan of neck sizing and then bumping the shoulders back when needed. I bump back .002 for my bolt action rifles. I can't say categorically why I choose this method. It just makes the most sense to me when I consider all of the variables. But I'm always learning and I try to never say that my way is the best/only way to do things. More importantly one thing that hasn't been stated yet is if you choose to FL size every time, don't follow the instructions that come with your reloading dies on how to set your FL sizing die. Those instructions are written so that your ammo would work in any spec'ed chamber. This would overwork your cases and is not necessary. It would be wise to invest in that Hornady headspace comparator tool that was mentioned earlier. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
