Sizing brass for a encore

[rupert1]

Hello, i have a bullberry encore 6br that i am loading for. I have a redding bushing die set for the 6br. Can i get by just neck sizing for my encore? I read somewhere the other day you have to full length size every time with an encore or it wont lock up right. Is that correct? thanks

I do not have a 6BR in an encore but I have barrels in 22-250, 308, and .220 swift. I have tried neck sizing and it works good for my barrels. I neck size twice then full lenght size it on the third reload it seams to work well for me.

For things Contender and Encore, try www.Bellmstc.com.

He has a large library of interesting informative articles on TC's and especially sizing, headspace, etc with a TC. I found it helpful with my K-Hornet Bullberry.

I don't have 6br. In my experience with a 243, it works best (from an accuracy and functionality standpoint) full sizing with an approx .002" shoulder bump from a fired case.
