[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 390469, member: 12"] Beg to differ, 1. Even in a bolt gun you are going to need to FL size. The brass will keep expanding and eventually become difficult to load. You either FL size or throw it away and buy new. Plus if you allow that they tend to work harden and not size smoothly as compared to minimal FL sizing every time. Simple fact of life that you need to know. If the FL dies are set up correctly you have minimal sizing and perfect fit. Most of the BR shooters (both short and LR) FL size and it has been proven to be more consistent. Go to BR Central and read for yourself what they say in the CenterFire and 600/1000 YD BR forums. now you can get away with NS only as long as you use a body die to size the body maybe every 3-4 times. IMO NS only is a panacea for imperfect factory chambers that people think will somehow correct for that. 2. For semi autos do not be surprised if you have to go to special "small base" dies that will size further down to fit in semi autos. 3. As for brass life issue, I have seen brass FL sized 54 times and set a world record of five shots into 1.4 inches at 1000 yards. The brass went on for 80 plus reloadings before being replaced. Go good FL dies, learn to properly set them up and never look back. Proper set up is the key. BH [/QUOTE]
