[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 920869, member: 1521"] The competitive among BR competitors are those using the ultimate work-around for internal ballistics; extreme peak pressure. With this, they have no choice but to FL size, and of course that's where they're at. They also notice and embrace other benefits of their work-around, like not needing neck turning, or low runout, or matched capacity, or matched neck tension, or set primer crush, or tight powder tolerances. There are prices to running extreme pressures though. It isn't free. But this has become the quickest route to competitive shooting, and I would go straight to it myself(if I were a competitor). When my brass is fully fire-formed I hold control over headspace. From this point I bump every cycle. This comes down to how many stable reloading cycles you intend from your brass, and what kind of ACCURACY you're reaching for. FL sizing is actually less reloader friendly, as there are prices for it(more trimming, annealing, etc). Also, generalizations that accuracy in hunting can somehow be lower(if that's what you mean), are often opposite of reality. A varmint hunter for example needs cold bore field accuracy that is beyond what most BR guns/loads can produce. This is not hot bore grouping, off a bench/rest, from 17lb+ naval guns. This is what you carry & set down on a bipod in the dirt & kill things with. In the context of my posts, I refer to FL sizing as actual FL sizing. You can do this with any bushing die, but it produces higher loaded runout. Necks need to be expanded before seating bullets, so that thickness variance is driven outward away from seating bullet bearing. [/QUOTE]
