[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1295180"] Good analogy. The battle between FL, light FL, Shoulder bump and NS has been going on for a very long time. I had one reloader tell me that I was FOS because the "trend" is not to light FL size with custom dies made from fired cases. A "truth" would be the "best" is the one that works for you. I seem to have long brass life, regardless of which type of sizing I use. I load for a lot of chamberings. One case that is almost always NS is 6BR. It is annealed every time. NS only to an internal dimention of .241. This is what works for me. For my fast twist long range and my slow twist short range. A different case is my 338-378 which is FL sized to bump the "shoulder" .001. It is also annealed every time. My 308 for my M1 Garand that was SAIC rebarrelled in 1957 is always hard FL resized. Same with my very few self loaders. Every shooter is different, every rifle is different. I would even say that brands of brass can be different. [/QUOTE]
