I understand what you believe but there was no need for your last statement was anyone this rude to you I think notApples and oranges people please!!! There's a huge difference between what hunters like us use, and what champion target shooters use. Do you buy three barrels at a time, all chambered at the same time, and have your dies cut with the same reamer? If so of course you full length size, because that custom die will only bump the case back to your chamber size. I have watched a champion shooter measuring before and after sizing and dimensional changes where minuscule. I.E. The discharge energy all goes into the barrel, NOT into rearranging the dimensions of the brass. Most of us hunters have realised a long time ago that a Collet neck die and a Body die [when necessary] after fire forming is vastly more accurate and produces extraordinary case life. Neck sizing is way more accurate in all eleven of my rifles, and all seven of the other rifles I reload for. We also never have to trim our brass after the original unifying and never get doughnut swelling. The stupidity of asking one specialised branch of shooters for a general rule for all is astonishingly stupid. God spare us from u tube idiots like this!
P.S. If you are in Australia, I dare you to come and prove me wrong. I have a place to shoot all hours any day and a place for you to stay free of charge. If you're not game to try, just shut your ignorant mouth.

I want to hear bear story !My story is just the opposite relative to someone else's reloads. Long ago as a virgin Second Lt and non hunter I was assigned to Alaska from the Maryland/DC area. Knowing less then nothing about ammo and hunting I trusted a civilian friend that hunted when he gave me "hunting" loads to take with me to AK. Long story short, they were for East coast white tails. Well when you try to shoot a moose with them through the shoulder blade they kinda flatten out. The moose goes down, I walk. up, the moose stands back up, I am out of ammo, I wet myself, my buddy drops the moose with 6 44mags. There is more to the story concerning me and the now unloaded 44 mag and a bear. But that is for another day.
Thats always what I need, another accurate rifle or even a couple : ) The load work-ups and hitting that place where you start to get tight groups. Then the match brass prep and chamber formed brass, weight sorting and total hand built zero runout ammo to shoot on a calm day with complete concentration.....The most important lesson I learned is that you can't reload yourself into an accurate rifle. Though it taught me a lot about reloading technique what I needed was an accurate rifle...or several.
Yes, and as a good friend often says to me, oh shucks, another rifle to sight in!^^^^
aint that they truth get one squared away got to have another one
**** the good luckYes, and as a good friend often says to me, oh shucks, another rifle to sight in!
