[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1282453, member: 78762"] You will enjoy very good brass life by neck sizing. But proper FL die setup will yield the same results. Setting it up to FL size back to minimum specs will quickly stretch the brass and it will fail prematurely. As far as accuracy, you can get very good accuracy from neck sizing, but I don't believe you will get better accuracy than proper full length sizing. It's kind of complicated to explain, but neck sizing only will not allow the case to self center off of the shoulder of the chamber. When a piece of brass is fireformed to a chamber, it technically would have to be inserted into the chamber oriented the same every time to realize the benefits of a case that's been bumped .001-.002". The space allows the case to float in the chamber and center itself with the shoulder angle. Also you won't ever change the dimensions of your cases, that was used to work up your loads.. Benchrest shooters realized this and most FL size. Plus, the ease of bolt cycling and chambering is desired for quick follow up shots. [/QUOTE]
