Stop neck sizing your brass!!!

Apologies for mischaracterizing Erik as a new to reloading. Never heard of him, but with my only exposure of watching the video, my general "impression" remains. While Erik makes some good points about the advantages of FL resizing, he draws a very heavy red line against NS. He makes his case with many generalizations and assumptions, many of which are routinely and successfully navigated by skilled reloaders when the application fits. Just my viewpoint.

It's all good!
 
The secret to using the Lee collet die.

At Accurateshooter.com reloading forum one member said he attached a click adjustable torque wrench to his press for his Lee collet dies.

I posted that I could not get the torque wrench to "click" before the duct tape started to rip. And asked what am I doing wrong...........:rolleyes:
 
This has been settled for years, for consistent aggs, consistent function, consistent ES, just plain consistency full length size.
Ya a guy may make it work just neck sizing but it takes so much less to have flyers, you'll see it in the groups of guys who neck size and shoot at range, an unexpected fly here and there. No major records that I know of at 1000 yards are being shot with neck size only brass, I don't know a 1000 yd Br competitor whi neck sizes.

I use wilson dies and have never ever had any issues with just neck sizing, sounds like a lot of personal issues.
If the case gets tight in the chamber I use a body die.
Everyone has an opinion, I get excellent groups with all my rifles doing it this way why fix it if its not broken.

I agree, read #33

Most if not all of the 1000 yard 10 shot group & aggregate scores were shot by neck sizing only in the late 70's when I attended the 1000 yard shoots at the PA Original 1000 yard bench rest clubs shoots. (in Bodines PA) I say most, but everyone that I talked to was doing things basically the same way, those were the days when I was learning long range accuracy , and that was the thing to do then. The record was a little over 3" at that time at that range with one of the big 30 calibers, about the same time, a woman broke that record with a 6.5-300 WEATHERBY Magnum or it may have been a 7mm-300 WEATHERBY Magnum Her 10 shot 1000 yard group was under 3" Don't know what the record is today or how they prepared their shells. I will be very satisfied using the methods of reloading that produced these records, and be more than satisfied with twice the size of those groups. NUFF SAID ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM ME!!

The "secret" is to cam over with the press and have the die adjusted so it only takes light pressure and doesn't break the die. Cam over the same every time and you have consistency.

The secret to the Lee collet die is to leave it in its case.



And full length dies like the Forster benchrest die produces the most concentric cases.

"The non-bushing sizer die typically yields more concentric ammo in our experience."
