I always FL resize. I also have a turret press that holds four die. The most common caliber that I reload. And I never unscrew them or move them. Cleaning them I just spay brake cleaner in them. But I never mess with them after I set them . That way I have the same resized case every time.

The best common sense reloading info that I have found is from Panhandle Precision. He goes through his entire process in fine detail explaining why he does or doesn’t do certain things. Great info.
No doubt, Sam knows his *censored*... I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable and I learn a lot from his videos.

Full length size. .002 shoulder bump. Quality dies will keep everything concentric the first go around. Blue box brass and yellow box bullets for .1’s accuracy.:yeah:
Fullsize, lapua, berger, money !

Getting great accuracy with both. I don't load to the max with either one, as I'm trying to keep recoil down a bit.
For my 270 Win. and 30/06 I'm still doing the full length sizing like I've always done.
But neck sizing sure saves a whole lot of time.

I wouldn't say neck sizing is a thing of the past at all. I've been reloading for 40 years, but only in the last five years have I been neck sizing. I do it for two rifles- my daughter's 7mm-08 and my 338 Win. Mag.till your brass grows enough to be difficult to chamber. Then you’ll need to bump shoulders.

Yes I understand that, but for these rifles I will load up maybe 50 cartridges and that may last three years, or maybe longer. So it could be a long time before bumping the shoulders back is necessary.

So he asked like 50 of The Best shooters out there.
Some of those guys have to feel awful sheepish.

The whole dang piece of brass grows so that it no longer chambers properly. I have schematic drawings of the cartridge cases I load and the dimensions from neck sizing only, exceeds the schematics from top to bottom. Bulging at the web was common. The point comes when a neck sized case will not drop into a case checker tool and then you know you have a problem.
Im of the opinion that regardless of how you reload, the single most important factor (until you have a problem), is case to case consistency before and after loading.

[/quote] I never use a cartridge gage. Who’s to say it’s even close to my chamber? Over sizing brass can cause trouble just as easily as under sizing

For my precision loads I size 1/3 down case, rotate 33 degrees, size down 2/3 down case, rotate another 33 degrees, then full size. Keeps cases as concentric as possible
Hmmmmm. What about the last 1 degree?? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
