[QUOTE="jrock, post: 952504, member: 78569"] Personally I like to neck size when I care about getting the most out of my ammo. After I fire a set a brass, I check to see if they again fit in the chamber with an acceptable bolt close force (I hunt so it isn't much force) and that tells me if I need to bump or FL size my brass. Other than that I neck size. I have switched to the LEE neck sizing die for the use of the collet as the case neck run out on those for me is less than 0.001" whereas my RCBS neck dies are 0.002" - 0.007" out. I've loaded up some ammo to test which one shoots better but they are collecting dust at the moment. My RCBS FL die gets <0.001" run out. I do get more life out of my brass when using neck sizing as much as possible. The brand of brass I find is more important to brass life but that is subjective. Plus, I like the feel and idea of a case that is well mated to the chamber. I know some calibers can get more out of neck sizing than others but I have not reloaded enough of them to give much info on that. I will not be neck sizing my dad's 30-06 reloads so he doesn't need to worry about chambering problems. [/QUOTE]
