[QUOTE="Guest, post: 27277"] I copied this from another post, but I think it applies. You should full length size. Most guys that neck size only, do it because it works better for them. I know that many of these guys have had a bad experience with full length sizing, usually caused by the die that they purchased not matching their chamber properly, or concentricity issues caused by expander balls, or poorly made dies. The other common issue is headspace problems caused by not setting the die up in the correct position. This group is usually mislead by a die that is stretching the cases as they are pulled out of a poorly polished die, so they screw the die in until the die cannot stretch the cases beyond what they have pushed the shoulder back. Of course this creates excessive headspace on some cases and overworks all the cases. Accuracy is the best with brass that is full length sized, but the dies must be made properly and set up properly so as not to overwork the brass. [/QUOTE]
