[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1740116, member: 101859"] Different opinions are fine but there's a lot wrong with this post. Like you said you are not involved in bench rest anymore. Group shooters shoot faster than anyone they are not moving to different points of aim, And everything done in this sport is for accuracy. I do not mean to come across as rude but you are not talking from current experience. I don't know a group shooter that is neck sizing like you state. But aside from that this is about long range hunting and on the bigger cases where we are typically running very high pressure you don't want to allow the web to get to the point that it's causing extraction issues. Because once that happens a lot of times you cannot fix it by full length sizing. If we maintain it every single time with a full length die we will never have extraction problems. That actually goes for any case that is running at the high end of pressure. And in many cases we are running these cases over pressure but they will handle it due to quality components. Neck sizing just will not work at these high pressure levels a fired case will not re chamber. There's no reason to change your methods if they are working for you but we need to be honest about current procedures and why they are being used. [/QUOTE]
