[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 981621, member: 1290"] When building for yourself you can set it up any way you want. There is no harm in what you are proposing but it would be the exact same thing. You're setting off the gauge but just not using it. If you want it tight set your headspace off new unfired brass but be aware you might have to shorten your full length sizer to be able to bump the shoulder that short. Also another lot o brass may not fit at all. Factory brass dimensions vary drastically. By neck sizing or only minimally bumping the shoulder minimizes working of the brass and that always extends the life of it. This can be done on any chamber even grossly long head spaced rifles.
