[QUOTE="Joe-boy, post: 2764848, member: 113266"] I'm still looking for the best way as a relatively fresh reloader. I've seen the Cortina videos and I think he most likely has a good point. On the other hand, it's just way faster and easier to neck size. I'm using the Lee collet die and a Lee full length resizing die. My rifles have relatively loose standard CIP mass produced chambers. I've just been learning to adjust according to shoulder bump instead of the default instructions, but it still appears that the case elongation is much more of an issue when full length resizing. Case prep with neck sizing: -Resize -Measure Case prep with full length resizing: -Lubricate -Resize -Measure -Trim -Deburr ...so it saves time and hassle to just neck size and I've never had an issue with just neck sized ammo. Time will tell if I manage to adjust my full length resizing die so that there is no need to constantly trim the cases. I've been told eventually you anyways need to full length resize, so I see the benefit of doing it constantly instead of every once in a while. [/QUOTE]
