[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1875312, member: 38048"] I can absolutely say one is more accurate than the other. I don't know one Bench rest shooter who neck sized their case. If neck sized ammo was more accurate then they all would be doing it. They don't. After 2 shots your case will fit the chamber very close and as soon as some of your brass fit snug and some don't it will induce verticle into your groups. 1 and 200 yard benchrest shooters used to all neck size their brass and today practically none do. That's just the way it is. I would never tell someone that they can't neck size. But it does not make more accurate ammo and does not make your brass last longer. Your primer pockets will be too loose before you ever wear a shoulder out. Bushing dies that don't over size your necks will make your brass last longer. And yes this is my opinion. But it's based on shooting the Benchrest game most of my life and building benchrest rifles as a professional gunsmith. So when the op decides which way to go on sizing I say go with the facts and experience of the most accurate shooters in the world. Don't take my word for it. Do your own survey.
