[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1282548, member: 5219"] I agree with other posters that neck sizing can help prevent overworking the brass. There are other factors to consider: If a neck sizer with a bushing is used you can decide the neck tension. Typical FL sizers with a ball create a neck diameter .003" smaller than a loaded round. This may be good for heavy recoiling rifles. Some rifles shoot better with less neck tension. Uniform neck wall thickness must be considered when neck sizing. No point in sizing from the outside of the neck as this condition would cause different neck tensions. A compromise for varying neck wall thickness would be to use a bushing die with a sizer ball. The bushing would minimally reduce the OD of the neck and the sizer ball would compensate for variances in neck wall thickness helping to mitigate the issue of neck tension. [/QUOTE]
