[QUOTE="Ts3, post: 1566241, member: 90330"] When I ordered my GAP nontypical in 30 Nosler, I also ordered a set of Redding type S match neck dies. Now a year later I have the rifle and am ready to work up a load. Should I exchange this 3 die set for the 2 die FL size set? I have been reloading for about ten years and for a dozen cartridges. Typical RCBS full length, die to shell holder and cam over by the instructions, etc. I read so many times to neck size only, with occasion shoulder bump, to improve precision and increase case life. So when I spent good money on my first high-end rifle, I bought what I thought would be best to give me the best loads. I have read a lot since then and it seems that neck sizing is probably not best at all, and especially for a hunting rifle. The best 5-round group I have gotten with factory Nosler ammo is 0.75” at 100 yds. Only 55 rounds total at this point. I honestly expected better from this rifle. Hoping hand loads with the 181 gr hammers I just ordered will be better. I guess I could neck size and then use the body die to bump the shoulder every time? Better to just go to the full length set?
