[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 201918, member: 5615"] Well, if you're using a FL die, you really want to do a partial full length sizing, which consists of measuring the shoulder of fired brass and screwing in your die untill you are just bumping the shoulder back a thousandth or two. I use a stoney point (hornady lock n' load now) comparator with head and shoulder gauges to measure the length to the shoulder but there are several other gauges out there. The problem with neck sizing with a FL die is that sometimes the die starts to size the body of the case when you're sizing the neck, this pushes the shoulder forward and then you have chambering problems.
