Re: Neck Sizing
I've gone half way, two thirds down the neck and now pretty much go as far as my die will allow. Half way obviously imparts a bit less tension, but since I use bushings and have more than a few, I can get there going this route. I don't get that secondary shoulder on my necks which is more an aesthetic issue for me.

Re: Neck Sizing
Thanks Chris.
I've been sizing to half way as I only have a .334 bushing and my loaded rounds come in at .338 at the neck. I figured .004 was more tension than I wanted and I'm waiting on .335, .336 & .337 bushings from Sinclair so I can experiment with various tension and size the entire neck.

Re: Neck Sizing
For my bolt guns, I usually size about a third to half of the neck. For gas guns I will size half or more. That way, more of the neck is holding the bullet without over working the brass.

Re: Neck Sizing
myerfire,
I have seen it stated a number of times that gas guns should always be full length resized. Sounds like you are having success with less than FL resizing. Is it truely a neck size or are you setting the shoulder back some as well? Just rying to learn.

Re: Neck Sizing
Pirate, I should have clarified, it is always recomended to use a small base die for gas guns, but I have hade excellent luck with useing a body die to bump the shoulder back and then a neck die to resize the neck. It is a little more work, but I feel it gives me a more accurate round.
