[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 106737, member: 5418"] Ok, so my previous post that I referred to was on a different forum, Oops! Yes, I was also under the impression that several times fired was preferred for micing, but I wasn't sure. Thanks. I've comes across a few interesting discussions and there seem to be a bunch of different opinions on how much to resize. Reference is made to the guys at Sierra and all sorts of long range and bench rest records and practices over time. I don't have the personal experience to comment, but the general responses seem to focus around full length sizing being best (although there seems to be some use of "full length" to include even bumping the shoulder just a couple of thou as opposed to neck only). Part of the argument against neck sizing is based on precise orientation when chambering a neck sized only cartridge (i.e. you can never index it identically to the previous firing). From what I can gather things have gone (and still do?) in circles in the neck size, full length size, shoulder bump "is best" argument and it makes me wonder whether there's a definitive answer. Bench rest accepted sizing practice has also moved about quite a bit from what I can establish and the records seem pretty awesome throughout this. So I'm looking forward to the responses from those way more experinced and informed than I am, but I'm not expecting to see a clear winner here. WL [/QUOTE]
