[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1741979, member: 1521"] I do not body size cases until they have reached fully fire-formed dimensions (after ~3 firings, neck sized only). And I don't [U]powder[/U] test until the brass has reached this stable capacity & chamber fit. During fire forming I do full seating testing and primer swapping, so that when I get to powder testing, I'm in a best condition for it. I never FL size, and depending on the cartridge, I may not even body size. Do yourself a favor,, never FL size necks. Pick up a body-bushing die (misnomer'd FL bushing die), and partial length size necks -no more than seated bullet bearing. [/QUOTE]
