[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1074712, member: 10291"] I agree with Fearnowind, particularly with hunting loads that are used at the high end of the pressure range. Even though you are using the same chamber, the brass will expand with repeated firings. With most of my hunting rifles I can get 2-3 neck sized reloads before I begin to get a tight bolt and will then full length resize, but this trends to be chamber dependent with the particlar load and rifle. Unless I see a material difference in accuracy, I will FL resize my hunting loads for consistency and reliable feeding. I do NS with some my competition rifles, particularly when I'm reloading large quantities of ammo, tight chambering is less of an issue, and sighters are allowed. [/QUOTE]
