[QUOTE="ehryk, post: 1074995, member: 29343"] I neck size until bolt closing starts to get snug. After that I use the Redding body die to bump the shoulder back 2 thou. This usually gives me 2 to 3 more firings before I have to do it again. In my .300 WSM, my loads are pretty warm. Primer pockets wear out long before any seperation occurs. In my .308 Win, I use a pretty mild load and get quite a few loads before I have to bump the shoulder with the body die. I anneal every 3 shots so I have never had neck or shoulder splits. Does neck vs FL sizing help brass last longer? I dont know. I do know my ES is much lower in neck sized loads vs FL. It works for me so I stick with it. [/QUOTE]
