[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1413555, member: 52763"] Just to be clear, I'm not a hunter. I'm too old with bad feet to be walking around more than 10 minutes. So sitting at a bench shooting a couple of boxes of reloads is heaven for me. For me, accuracy wasn't the reason I neck size only. Brass longevity was the main reason, although I believe I benefit with a gain in accuracy also. I use only Lapua brass in my 22-250 Savage LRPV single shot BR rifle. To date I'm on my 14th reload with absolutely no signs of brass failure & I expect I'll get at least 50 plus reloads per case. From extensive research, I discovered a fair number of competition shooters get up to 100 reloads per case or more. I have a 22-250 with a .250" tight-necked chamber. The wall thickness of my brass neck turned to .012", which gives me a total clearance of .002" around the neck. I suspect my brass is worked 10% of what's normal for full-length resizing. I use only a bump-neck die which sizes the brass approx. .002"-.003" total. I have never resized the body of the case & I've never had any problems chambering or ejecting a case. I use a bump-neck die bushing which gives me a maximum .001" to .002" interference fit on the bullet. I never have to worry about recoil causing a problem with the bullet moving in any direction other than out the bore, simply because it's a single-shot rifle. My Forster die is labeled as a bushing die. [/QUOTE]
