[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1910280, member: 18849"] That's correct the 30-06 if it's full length to begin with will also trim up fine (it should actually gain a little length sizing it down). Some brass mfgs. are stingy to begin with and often they are short in the pkg. Unlike an AI it normally won't shrink that much on first fireform. Depending on how the chamber is cut it pays to run as long as practical to minimize carbon buildup. Starting short and letting the cases "grow to length" may be a recipe for problems down the road. Especially when the carbon is not removed completely. Now in the days of Teslong more will see what can and has been happening. I've used 25-06 also but it does "shorten" a smidge necking up as well as thin a hair more in its "thin" spots. I always thought it's better to neck turn as little as needed to achieve quicker "neck seal". This seems to be true when seeing less neck soot. Used all three cases without undue problems. 30-06 are easier to find especially in quality brass. 25-06 are quickest to size up, without trimming or turning. 270 are the most work with extra trimming but they end up where I want them. I load also 30-06 and 25-06 but not 270 so headstamp issues never present some of the "perceived" problems. Hope that explains my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
