[QUOTE="fightthenoise, post: 1762386, member: 100546"] In a new chamber or new rifle, I neck size after each firing of a few pieces of virgin brass until I feel the slightest bit of resistance or crush fit. Measure to the shoulder on that case. Then I set up a Redding body die to move the shoulder back 0.002 from that measurement. Lock down the lock ring, and size all brass after every firing in that die forever and ever amen. Neck size in a separate step with a collet die. Brass will be allowed to grow until it is 0.002" from being hard to chamber, but no more. Minimal sizing, always smooth chambering. Might even help avoid some compressed loads. [/QUOTE]
