[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 776228, member: 39801"] I am a little confused on your statement that you are FL sizing and then neck sizing. If you have a body die (does not touch neck at all) it makes sense. If you don't (ie your FL sizer is also sizing the neck) than neck sizing is redundant and unnecessary. I use Redding Type S competition dies for 338LM. Here is my process. #1. tumble cases #2. Use body die to bump shoulder back 1 thou (hornady 1-shot lube) #3. Type-S neck size (deprimes and uses a bushing and carbide expander ball on neck) #4. Uniform primer pocket (Sinclair primer pocket tool) #6. Trim case to trim-to length (wilson trimmer) #7. Chamfer and deburr neck #8. Wash brass, brush necks, and dry in oven at 150F (weird, I admit). #9. Prime (hornady hand prime) #10. Charge cases (use a RCBS 5-0-5 and trickler to get exact as possible) #11. Seat bullets (I seat each twice, alter micrometer seater in between so measurment to ogive is exact) #12. Burn up all these hours of prep with a few second flight time! Hope that helps, and hope I'm not forgetting anything. BTW there is a reloading forum on this site with a ton of great contributors and info. Put your next post there and you'll get someone smarter than me to respond... [/QUOTE]
