[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 795761, member: 2736"] Not to be argumentative because everyone has there preferred method of sizing for there needs. I don't shoot hot loads any more and if I want more velocity out of a bullet I simply go to a bigger case and/or longer barrel. The concept of the 40o +or minus shoulder was for more case capacity and the up side was less case stretch. The old case designs like the 300 H&H with a very long 8.5 shoulder angle was notorious for case stretch (Sometimes up to .030 thousandths after a couple of firings. I have yet to have to trim any of my short mags. and I only neck size as needed. I rarely move (Bump) shoulders on any cases. I do however run little or no head space and like I said, I back off MAX loads. Full length sizing Every time is very consistent but it is hard on brass and Does effect accuracy to a small degree. The rules are different when reloading to squeeze every thousandth of accuracy out\of a weapon in my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
