[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 792096, member: 5302"] Suggestions for full length sizing dies are the best. Benchresters switched from neck only to full length sizing dies a few years ago. Such dies have always produced the best accuracy. Those with bushings and no expander balls best center and make straight case necks on case shoulders; a definite key to best accuracy. No neck only sizing die does this as well as full length dies with busings; they don't support the case body when sizing the neck down. With such fired case sizing dies, most bullet seaters will end up making ammo with bullet runout on the loaded round less than 1% of bullet diameter; good enough for 1/2 MOA at 1000 yards. Both Redding and RCBS make the ones with the best price-performance ratio the buck spent and ammo quality. But you'll need a case headspace gauge such as the Hornady LNL or RCBS Precision Mic to measure how much the fired case shoulder gets set back when full length sized. No more than .002" is best for case life and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
