[QUOTE="SealT5, post: 1762604, member: 94302"] No other area of the reloading process do we settle for a procedure that is inconsistent. We measure powder consistently. We seat bullets consistently. Why would someone want to then use a method of sizing that is inconsistent? Every firing your brass grows. It takes about 3-4 firings for the brass to completely grow to the point that you have to inevitably Full Length Size your brass. So in a nutshell your brass is never identical/consistent regardless of the firing you are on if you Neck Size only. The top shooters in the world endorse Full Length sizing with a quality die that sizes minimally for your chamber. All they can do is try to help us out. I personally FL size everything always. Always have and always will. There are no possible side effects compared to neck sizing. Which is not a matter of if but when something wrong will happen. I will not ever recommend something that could potentially ruin a once in a life time shot or worse. Prevent you from ethically shooting a follow up shot on a dying and suffering animal. Just ain’t gonna happen if I can help. If you want to neck size that’s fine. But please keep it on the bench where it belongs. You can still honor your grandfather that way. But for anything in the field. Full length size your brass. [/QUOTE]
