[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1074757, member: 2736"] As some have said, some neck size and others full length size. There are reasons and benefits to both methods. + Side =full length sizing is best if the chamber is not perfect and/or you have a Semi Auto that needs to feed effortlessly. - side = full length sizing normally shortens case life because it works the brass more. + Side to neck sizing = If you have a concentric chamber, neck sizing can produce more consistent groups and save the brass from over working it. It may also save having to trim as often because of case growth. - Side is = it may have to be partially sized if it becomes tight when chambering. (I recommend sizing only enough to make chambering easy and no more. I recommend neck sizing if you have a "Perfect" chamber and not relying on your dies to control your accuracy. with well prepared cases and a minimum sizing you should be able to capitalize on your rifles accuracy. There are some fine dies available, but nothing sizes your brass as well a good chamber. So there is no one best way, only the way that best suites your needs and uses. I personally use all three methods (Neck sizing, partial full length and full length depending on its intended use. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
