[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 391167, member: 1521"] Either works and often neither works... It's fireforming to YOUR chamber -vs- sizing with a STANDARD die. And as Boomtube implied, nothing is without measuring. The reason I stand against FL sizing is that to me it's merely another shortcut in reloading. People do it and are happy with it. But this doesn't mean it is ever needed, and certainly NOT that it's the best in sizing. I have yet to hear a valid basis for FL sizing that bests individual area sizings(BS/BUMP/NS). If you assume that you aren't lucky enough to have a FL die correctly reset all dimensions out of your fireformed brass, then a solid plan includes use of a Redding body die. Assuming this will not be perfect, you can then send it with a few fired cases to JLC Precision, and Jim will make you a matching neck sizing bump die. Now you're free to NS as you like(any amount), as well as bump and body size the CORRECT amount. And this does not cost more than a roll of the FL sizing dice, that does only one thing (right or wrong) -FL size. Why does ANYONE here think it's good to alter every bit of a case to an unmatched standard in sizing? Do you think it's good because BR shooters FL size? Well be assured BR standards ARE matched, -to the point of turn-key. Concede that your hunting chamber is not. BR shooters do not use your hunting chamber, and you do not use theirs for hunting.
