[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2857192, member: 94491"] Its a fl die, is it not? I never stated the fl dies are run down all the way to the shell holder, some don't bump- some bump a little- some bump a lot- some have custom honed fl dies --- some use bushing dies....but a neck size only die is not a fl die ------, I'm not saying that no match shooters use neck only dies, I'm just saying that each guy has his own preference and some match shooters use fl dies and do just fine As I said " you do you" , do what works best for you I wish I could go back to "ignorance is bliss" but I'm stuck in my ways now after learing over 40 years of reloading---- when I first started, I mixed brass brands, FL sized to the shell holder, randomly chose primers and powders, and never changed seating depths--- just with bullet choice and powder charge variations I came up with 1/2 minute loads--- but it was pure guess/trial and error/a blind rat finds the cheese game back then--- now I think I've learned things along the way that speed the process of finding an accurate load--- but there is always room for more knowledge. But to say that you can't find a long range accurate load by fl sizing doesn't jive in my book--- so " you do you" Consistency breeds accuracy [/QUOTE]
