[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 469973, member: 12"] Tom H Only shot SR group a couple times and some varmint for score. Had a 30 BR SR BR rifle for a couple years. Gun disturbance from hard bolt openings and closing is the same issue in LR BR and FL sizing will assuredly greatly help in that area. I have a Hood press and use it to load at the matches. I size with the Hood, and I usually seat with Wilson dies at the matches and KM arbor with dial indicator to confirm uniformity of neck tension. You pretty much laid out the transition in sizing from early BR using NS dies only to now, where the dominant die is a FL (Harrels, custom, JLC, Jones etc) that do a minimal body size to ensure clean bolt closing and less work on the brass. As to the worry issue, when hunting I absolutely do not want hard bolt closings or openings due to lack of sizing which will happen when you NS only. BH [/QUOTE]
