[QUOTE="woods, post: 271554, member: 6042"] Not exactly. You should FL size every 3rd to 4th shot depending on your gun TO RELIEVE THE CRUSH FIT. You will get the most case life by neck sizing forever but if you develop a crush fit (and can't or don't want to live with it) then you need to FL size so that you can chamber your cases easier. What you don't want to do is FL size and push your shoulder back further than it needs to be pushed back. If you push it further than it needs to be then you force the case to expand more than necessary and increase work hardening which will decrease case life. It will also increase chances of a case head separation because of thinning at the pressure ring. [/QUOTE]
