[QUOTE="chad44, post: 1030483, member: 30338"] I simply set up my FL die out a ways and slowly screw it in maybe a quarter turn at a time while measuring the case each time. Once I see a change in my measurement I lock it down. I bump them about 1-2 thousand to ensure they'll load while hunting. I bump them every time I reload. I don't see the point of neck sizing until the bolt feels tough to close. What if that's on a bull or buck of a lifetime and you can't chamber. Also, by only neck sizing your cases they are growing every time you fire and then all of a sudden you bump them back and you're effectively shrinking that case hence changing pressures. I like to know that every time I load a round it's going to act the same as it did before. Consistency is the name of the game I think. [/QUOTE]
