[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2564408, member: 1521"] Everything in a sizing plan depends on choices made. If you choose an old design cartridge with high body taper, low shoulder angles, more length for given capacity, then you will have to FL size sooner or later. So you might as well just FL size, once fire formed to stable, for load development and beyond. This would be anything standard along the 30-06 case line. With smaller and improved cartridge designs, there is potential to reduce sizing in the plan. With that and better fitted chambers and custom dies, nearly all sizing can be thrown out. This is with Ackley improved cases no larger than 260AI. My choices lead to this, and I never FL size anything. I normally bump shoulders only, with a custom bump die, and bushing partial neck size. One thing I would never do, ever, is FL size necks.. There can be advantages and disadvantages no matter what your sizing plan is. Especially if you don't control things/choices. [/QUOTE]
