[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 412913, member: 2011"] As BobbyL says, what ever works! I'm one of those that neck sizes at least a caliber if the neck is long as in '06 family of cases. Or 3/4 or so on such things as a 338 RUM. The crush fit your are speaking of, to me, indicates the distance between the case's head and shoulder is a bit too long. It would seem to be to be difficult to maintain a consistent crush fit such as you describe. However it works go for it. The crush fit that I stumbled on that really changed things in one of my rifles was seating the bullet way too long, crimping with the seating dig and "CRUSHING" the the bullet back into the case with the bolt. I switch bullets and they shot super, super, super great when I seated to the same length but did away with the crimp. As they say, "go figure".:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
