[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 794701, member: 11717"] My philosophy in handloading is to be consistent. That is why I FL size every go around. I used to neck size my 300 WSM and RUM brass and after about 3 firings it needed body sizing. IME, this process is contrary to the idea of consistency. Every load is different from the previous and next. Also, a FL die is a better tool for uniformity (reduced runout). I have had good success in using RCBS, Redding and Hornady FL dies to produce consistent cases with about .001-.0015 runout, if I keep the dies clean, lube the cases properly (not too much or little) and use slow steady strokes. I FL size just enough for the case to fit the chamber and lock the bolt down easily. [/QUOTE]
