[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2593835, member: 313"] Starting with a new case, shoulders move forward with each firing. You may be able to just neck size a few times, but that depends on how much pressure the load generated and how hard or soft the brass is. Sooner or later, brass will get tight and you will need to move the shoulder back or resize the entire case. It's probably easier and more consistent to FL size from the beginning and to adjust the die down just enough to ensure a smooth entry into the chamber. Sizing too much will cause headspace issues and shorten the life of your cases considerably. A little trial and error as you set up your die is all it takes to find just the right fit. Having a headspace gauge is helpful but not needed. [/QUOTE]
