[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 390533, member: 12"] MikeCR and I will agree to disagree. :) I would say almost everything in LR BR applies to hunting reloading, some to a lesser degree or more. Only way NS only works IS if you load each and every one of your loaded rounds into the chamber to verify that the bolt will close, otherwise you risk them not chambering at a critical time. Guess what, seen it more than once! Plus if they do not chamber you get to tear them apart and try again. Wanna risk the shot of lifetime on a round that may or may not chamber smoothly? Go ahead. As for the brass life issue, "if you properly adjust the dies" it has absolutely zero effect on brass life over any other method. Brass is destroyed from stretching and work hardening. Improper die adjustments pushing the shoulder back too much kills the brass normally. Now nothing wrong IMO with NS and then use a body bump die to do the body. I do that with some sets, but I always FL size the body anymore with either the body die or FL die. BH [/QUOTE]
