[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1693374, member: 110518"] I'm going to throw a wrench in the gears here. First off I agree that FL sizing is the way to go. Now back to the original poster's problem. Do you have an actual neck sizing die or is it a FL sizing die that you just backed out. If its the latter you are NOT neck sizing, you are partially sizing. If you just sit back and think how a die works, it is machined to bring the brass back to SAAMI dimensions. You can ONLY do that by running the case as far into the die as possible. Just backing off a FL sizing die partially sizes the case body, doesn't touch the shoulder, and partially sized the case neck. [/QUOTE]
