Sizing

[JonnyBender]

Is full length sizing necessary or neck sizing enough?

Jonny,
Please don't take offense, but your question is way too broad. Please refine with info on the following. Bolt or semi-auto, shooting type and distances involved. What level of accuracy expected please? Many here are very happy to help, we just need more specifics.

If you have a way to check the shoulder bump I think full length sizing is the way to go. Bump the shoulder back .001 to .002 and that way your brass is always the same and the bolt closing is always nice and smooth.

For most bottleneck cartridges full-length resizing is best, especially for semi-auto rifles.

Neck sizing is usually preferred for bolt guns used in benchrest pursuits but can have utility value for other styles of bolt-gun shooting such as long-range competition.

As Greg110 replied your question is too vague for anyone to risk more detailed answers for your needs.

These days even most br shooters are full length sizing cases, it's just more consistent than neck sizing....
Of course I meant FL bushing dies, ya gotta have that neck tension controlled at all times.....
