[QUOTE="CPorter, post: 91299, member: 4952"] Neck sizing tends to give the best accuracy and case life. The only thing you're changing dimensions on is the neck so the case fits snug in the chamber and better aligns with the bore. By annealing the necks regularly you can reload cases for years. I still use cases I have from the 70s. The down side is those cases may only fit the rifle they were shot in and may tend to be a bit snug while chambering. I don't use really hot loads and haven't run into this yet. Full length resizing is best for using cases in different guns and ensures ease/reliability of chambering. It's best suited for hunting dangerous game, semi automatics, and maybe beginning reloading. Down side is a looser fit in the bore, more work done on the brass (possibly shorter life), and a little less accuracy. That's all I can think of. [/QUOTE]
