[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2566969, member: 1521"] There is fleeting accuracy from cases that don't last very long in a stable/as load developed condition. And there is longer term accuracy from cases that last many more reload cycles in a stable/as load developed condition. Whether you even have this choice comes down to your understanding & planning. Regardless of sizing, if your cases turn out to be unreliable in the field, then your planning needs work for sure. If you ever thought you might neck size only and ended up disappointed, then your understanding needs work. The comparison really should never have been NS-vs-FL. I know of no cartridges that can go forever without shoulder bumping(eventually). That at least limits NS ONLY viability. The better comparison is [B]minimal[/B] sizing [B]-vs-[/B] off-the-shelf [B]FL[/B] sizing. I say 'off-the-shelf' because you can choose to have custom FL dies that minimally size, and cases should last way longer(as stable), then accuracy from those cases should last longer. It's logical and reasonable to follow that and other plans for minimal sizing. How that line of thinking was lumped into neck sizing (only) is beyond my understanding. [/QUOTE]
