[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1816648, member: 11132"] If it works go with it. Possible downside might show up at LR if there is a higher es/sd. Not sure if your running a chrono. But typically the higher the tension the larger the variance in release tension. But again if it shoots nice tiny holes at the distances you will shoot only reason to mess with it would be to see just how tiny that hole can get. Are you a person that wants the smallest POA/POI you can get or is there a point for you that is just good enough and you have reached it? Once your inside ethical accuracy for a given range IMO it becomes a personal choice. The other possible downside is work hardening the necks sooner. You are working the necks more going from fired>sized>fired. If you anneal this becomes far less an issue. If you did not care about case life annealing etc the only other possibility would be changing neck tension from the work hardening with repeated sizing but that matter if it shows up in a decrease in accuracy. Nothing wrong with testing a load with .002. That is usually where I start for hunting. I do not like to run 001 for hunting unless its a park and shoot single load. I have had some set back on me yrs ago. Might have been they needed annealing but it made me shy away from going that low for hunting. [/QUOTE]
