[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1460372, member: 7"] I question / thought for both of you gentlemen. 1 - Why are you "Bumping" 0.002"?? What problem are you trying to solve. Why not neck size and live a happy life? 2 - From what point are you using to measure the 0.002" 3 - IF you started FL sizing, and got head separations, isn't that telling you something? 4 - You cannot get "donuts" from sizing, unless the shoulder is flowing into the neck - and that means you are over sizing your cases by a LOT. Reason I ask, is... I currently load for 31 rifles, and I have been loading since 1952 (I was 12), and I shoot a LOT... I have never had a head separation or a split neck from a case that was not already split in the bag. I also NEVER FL size, unless it is to get cases from a different chamber to fit the current rifle. [/QUOTE]
