[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1803422, member: 50852"] IMHO the ideal situation is to send a twice or three times fired case to Whiddens (or any other reputable custom die maker) and have them build you a die that is dimensioned according to your fired cartridge cases. This creates the benefit of less stress on your brass from sizing it down way more than is necessary and equates to many more loading-firing cycles before having to discard the brass. It would also eliminate the aforementioned excessive clearance between the chamber and your resized brass. I think that today you will find most experienced benchrest guys/gals are full length sizing. When done correctly with properly sized dies, it is superior to neck sizing only. As mentioned earlier in this thread, there are a number of factors that contribute to "runout" of the loaded cartridges. [/QUOTE]
