[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1855493, member: 26227"] Van Jansenburgh, after 40+ years reloading I have come to one overwhelming conclusion. some people can not explain things in the best light. AKA they leave stuff out. I am guilty of this myself. so yes, it tends to figure that FL sizing might be less supportive. but you are only 0.002" from being perfect length of the chamber, the headspace is -0.002" on your case to the chamber. that is for reliably closing the bolt. the shoulder of the case might be a tiny bit shorter than the chamber but they mate up nearly perfectly. this is just like neck sizing without the reliably closing of the bolt. for competition I neck size only. for hunting I full length size to get the more reliable bolt closing. both methods will get you nearly the same results. Full Length sizing is strictly for your hunting in my opinion. neck only sizing is for competition so you can waste time messing with the bolt if needed or eject the cheeky bastard oversized case and put a new round in. Now, do you understand or have I confused you more? [/QUOTE]
