[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1908672, member: 1521"] Well, 1thou works good. 2-3thou is just that much beyond. If you're sizing case bodies or shoulders 2-3thou, it's more than you have to. More than you have to means changing your brass more than you have to. It can mean loosening primer pockets, frequent trimming (changing capacity), frequent need for annealing, changing hardness/clearances/pressures/MVs, higher runout/thrown shots, donut issues, extraction issues, headspace issues. Otherwise, I can think of NOTHING good in it. Some folks have to FL size, due to early choices. Some believe FL sizing is good. Some take it further,, if FL sizing is good, then more of it is better.. That's where it crosses over to wrong thinking. Truly, no sizing/causing change, large or small, is 'good'. It's never free. So your sizing plan, whatever it is, should manage this as minimal. Do that, and you'll mitigate every issue that I listed here. Reloading just gets that much simpler. [/QUOTE]
