[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1075132, member: 2736"] I don't like to quote because it sometimes looks like an attack on the quoted. This is just for clarification and debate, not to start an argument. I read all the post to see if/where someone might have said that a prefect chamber "Resized" your brass. I did not find any such statement or quote. In fact if you place any round in a chamber that has not been fired in that chamber it will "Size" It to fit the chamber. So in reality I guess it does "Resize" it the first time, but most of us call that fire forming. In reference to a perfect chamber If it is not concentric or has some discontinuity's chances are that the fired case will not fit back in the chamber any other way except the was it was fired, so some resizing has to be done. And on a "Perfect chamber" Case head orientation is not required to be able to chamber the case with ease. When cases become difficult to chamber some sizing is required and the amount depends on the use of that rifle and the dependability in difficulty situations. A fire formed case is one way to tell if your chamber is true and concentric because the case will resist chambering if not placed in the same position as fired. Resize reamers have always been used to make dies and are dimensionally smaller that chamber reamers and any one that calls himself a Gun smith knows that, and I found no mention that was to the contrary. I also know lots of successful Bench rest shooters that Don't do any sizing including the necks, so it becomes a personal choice as in neck sizing or full length sizing or some where in between. Again this post was to clarify what may have been misconstrued and not to start an argument. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
