[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1401399, member: 99718"] Don't Know what the dude said all I had was a silent film. I have always just neck sized only, my magnum calibers and have never had any noticeable problems with the cases have loaded some when doing test loads 10 times or more. I only use them for deer hunting, one is a 300 win. mag. that's a carry gun. The oldest is a 308 Norma mag bench gun that is a real shooter out over 1300 yards. This is what I was taught by guys at the Original 1000 yard bench rest club of Williamsport PA. I know they do things that a lot of other people probably don't do or wouldn't do, but they were shooting many 10 shot groups at 1000 yards that were under 6". As far as I know that's all that any of them did, and many of them barely started to resize the neck very little just enough to keep the bullet from falling out, they then finish seating the bullet inside the rifle against the lands. This was to ensure they were all uniformly seated against the lands and they would be shot then. They were all competition shooters. I may have at the most had a split neck or two but I don't even remember any of them yet. I get a lot more cases going bad with two calibers that I full length resize and they are my 30-06 and a 222. I have even had them start to show hair line cracks mid case but they were loaded many times. I believe the case will weaken faster from full length resizing than from neck resizing only. Its like bending any other piece of metal back and forth enough times it will break, much like a soda can tab. [/QUOTE]
