[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1401499, member: 5219"] Interesting argument Sure some body taper/shoulder bump makes the bolt closure/opening easier. The BR guys go that route because they don't want to fight the bolt to get their shots off all at once and not disturb the rifle with their free recoil setups. I don't mind the resistance on my 20 lb 6 BR as I shoot it for fun and varmints. Sure some day I may have to bump the body taper/shoulder. In the meantime I can load up a bunch really fast. Doubt I can improve on the 1's I am getting now. To do any body sizing you have to lube the case. Then you have to clean the case. When working up a load for one of those rifles, pulling bullets and neck sizing is very easy and fast. Using a bushing allows you to tune the neck tension. Redding's FL/bushing might be the best offering if you want to (partial)FL size and fine tune the neck tension. A fitted FL die with neck dimension you require is good but again you have to lube. I have a 30 BR that uses the RCBS FL die without a sizer ball. I turn the necks to match the die for a .002" fit. I admit to only neck sizing a few cartridges because my hunting rifles must function without any bolt closure issues. [/QUOTE]
