[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 364798, member: 12"] On BR central, they did a survey several months back with well over 50% of the BR shooters saying that they FL size. Most guys NS only are throwing the brass away after 3-4 firings and starting over. Most use carefully selected dies to minimally size the body while giving the shoulder bump. Minimal sizing is key to long brass life and it looks like for best accuracy too. No way to NS only long term, as brass will expand to eventually not chamber. Got to FL size or at least use a body bump die to resize the case body or throw it away. IMO there is no such thing as partial FL sizing IF a die is cut for that chamber. Kind of like being partially pregnant. If you are sizing to at least touch the shoulders you are getting the full sizing on the body. So what are you partially sizing? Maybe the better term is minimal shoulder bump. BH [/QUOTE]
