[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1815742, member: 92702"] We used to do this years ago with RCBS dies. What you are actually sizing depends solely on the amount to body taper. You are sizing part of the neck, and may or may not be sizing part of the body depending on the cartridge. This method actually works fairly well with cartridges with ample taper and a long neck. .222, 6MM Rem, 220 Swift, and .308 and 30-06 come to mind. Will not work with any of the AI cartridges, Weatherby's, and many of the newer magnums due to the lack of taper pushing the shoulder forward, keeping the round from chambering easily. In the old days we were taught to use a nickle to set up the die. Put a nickle between the die and shell holder and tighten. It was always called partial resizing. Nothing including the neck is fully sized with this method. [/QUOTE]
