[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1776055, member: 87243"] More consistent accuracy. The better it fits the chamber with less growth each fireing, the more consistent your ammunition will be. Also as stated, brass life. If I was loading for a cartridge that is not necessarily going to be used for really long range, and possibly could be used for dangerous game, I would give it a touch more headspace, go up to semi auto spec (.005" vs .002" headspace) just to ensure reliability and smooth fast feeding.
