[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 957211, member: 17844"] We must get out of our minds this " one OR the other mentality " . There is no one size regime that suits all loading situations and weapon types. What you would do for a match chambered target rifle using custom dies is totally different to what you would need to do for a sloppy chambered Auto loading on a tree stump in the forest . There is many ways to reload and many die systems and many different gun types . In the most average cases with bolt actions you will neck size until the case gets tight and then either full length size or body size and then start again neck sizing until they get tight again . With the average auto , slide action , pumps and some levers generally most people like easy fitting ammo to aid slick function so they tend to full length size each time or if doing it in two stages , neck size and body size each reload . Custom made dies for target rifles are matched to the chamber so they only do a minimal amount of sizing so in that case they can size the neck and the body each reload and still have a good consistent chamber fit each shot . That's how I see the issue . [/QUOTE]
