[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 645334, member: 12"] BIG MYTH. Go and you will find that in fact in LR most are FL sizing and polls on BR central showed most are FL sizing in SR also. Harrel brothers make one of the best FL dies for the PPC and different ones to fit most of the chambers. Two of the very best SR shooters around (Tony Boyer and Mike Ratigan) have both in the last two years published very detailed books about how to do it. They both have very strong opinions that FL sizing is the way to go and is required unless you are shooting extremely light loads, which almost no one does. We have even had one of our "NS only" gurus go there and try to educate the unlearned masses with no success as expected. I will say that in the LR game, more than one top shooter has found out that the best concentricity and uniform neck tension is coming from a hybrid technique. They FL size first, use neck expanders (K&M or Sinclair) to expand the complete neck back to nominal caliber and then use a NS only die to neck down to the desired dimension. For several years it was a very quiet technique but recently has become known more widely. [/QUOTE]
