[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1139336, member: 5219"] Thanks for sharing what wears out. As for primer pockets, IMO, if they don't last three firings the load is too hot. Cracked necks: the chamber diameter vs the dimensions of the FL die are very different. The brass is getting over worked expanding upon firing then over sized small to then pass over the sizer ball. If you would be willing to try you can use a bushing die to reduce the OD of the necks with less working for a longer neck life. There is a possibility that with unturned necks you could have inconsistent neck tension using just a bushing. If you are not turning them then a bushing that will size them a few thousandths smaller than the sizer ball then run them over the ball to uniform the ID and neck tension. (have to give Kevin Thomas of Lapua kudos for that idea) I agree with another poster segregate the brass for each rifle. Be sure to let us know how that works out. [/QUOTE]
