[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1005863, member: 52437"] Hey guys, I am neck sizing some rifles to experiment with accuracy and case lfie. One in particular is a belted magnum. I do not want this thread turning into a "you shouldnt neck size or you should"...etc. Just have a question on overal case length. On my full length resized cases I have always trimmed to between .005 - .010 less than what the book states. For example, if overall max case length is 2.450, then I would trim to at least 2.445. Most time I favor .010 but if it is a rifle that I know they dont move much I dont mind going .005. Anyways, should I do the same thing on neck sized cases or does this become less crucial because they are fire formed to your chamber? The reason I ask is I measured my once shot cases yesterday and after neck resizing they are .003 less than the book max. Should I trim or is it not needed with neck sized brass as long as they are under book value and fit in your chamber? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
