[QUOTE="E4aker, post: 1988492, member: 7670"] Mike and Paul, thank you for your inputs. Their is lots of knowledge on this website. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I have a background in long range revolver shooting. The age old practice with shooting cast bullets is to size the brass onlyfar enough down to hold the bullet. thus aligning the cartridge better with the cylinder as it makes its way the throat. I never really thought about it much, just accepted the theory. That’s why I was having a hard time sizing rifle brass that far under size. But with my thinking about the subject over the last few days, it seems to me that a rifle cartridge at 60k+ psi, upon ignition, will swell to fill the chamber completely prior to releasing the bullet. This will (in theory) Align the cartridge with the chamber. If these things are true, I guess it comes down to how much you want to work your brass and how much tolerance you need to account for debris or dirty brass you might encounter in the field. Prob a reason why nobody neck sizes anymore [/QUOTE]
