[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1296948, member: 1521"] Pretty much any 'broad declarations' about this subject would fail tests here & there. And only a truth passes all tests, so achieving this here would follow a mountain of qualifications/disclaimers. For instance, it is true that a FL die can produce ammo straightness equal to or even better than a NS die -but only under certain conditions including a fair number of attributes. And when you account for trimming, and annealing, and brass replacements, FL sizing is not automatically easier than neck sizing to mitigate these things. There are also many inaccuracies, misnomers, and generalizations to wade through in concluding anything. Likely half the reloaders here don't even know the difference between a body-bushing die and an actual FL die. Personally, if I had to size the entire case body, I would. But I would not ever FL size necks. [/QUOTE]
