[QUOTE="Dgutter, post: 490505, member: 32130"] I've been doing a little reloading but have always FL sized my cases each and every time. What other options do I have and what are the advantages/disadvantages of each? I've seen neck sizing dies, collet type, bushing type....there's just so many options I'm not sure which way is the best to go. I'm currently loading for a .25-06 with decent results but case life is very short. Maybe 5 loads before the neck begins to split. Wouldn't think I'd have to anneal before then but apparently I need be. Would a different sizing process help this issue? The loads I'm running are quite mild. So does this mean I'm work hardening my cases and should just anneal them? But I above all I want the most accurate process possible. Meaning whatever it may take accuracy is of the upmost importance to me. I ask these questions for my own education obviously and for improvement. But I'm also planning a .338 Edge build soon and want to start out right. Thanks for ya'lls help. [/QUOTE]
