neck sizing ?

[swampthang]

question-
i have been competitive shooting since 1989 and have my own ways of prepping match brass but i would like to know what others do.
with a box of brand new brass do you
resize cases ( bushing type die) then neck turn?
or run expander die, turn the necks, and then resize?
or fireform brass, neck turn and resize?
couple of guys i shoot with do it all the ways mentioned and we all seem to have success finding an x ring.
i guess im taking a poll to see which way is most popular

i run expander die, neck turn, bushing neck die resize and fireform.

Run expander die, turn the necks, and then resize. But it also may depend on caliber.

Run expander die, turn the necks, and then resize. But it also may depend on caliber.

This is what i do as well.

First I uniform the primer pockets and flash holes, then I run expander, trim to length, turn neck, run through bushing die.

I uniform primer pockets, run through full length sizing die and bump shoulder, trim for square mouth, run through expander, neck turn, then neck size with proper neck tension. The shoulder bump and trim operations are very essential to the neck turning operation for consistent and accurate neck turning.
