    I have a full length die. Just always read that once it's been fire formed to the chamber then neck sizing is the best thing to do.
    No. All brass will eventually need a full size as the brass gets worked. Neck sizing is good for most cycles but it's important to have brass that fits your rifle. Nothing worse than finding your rounds won't chamber one day one of a multi-day fly in trip.

    Yes. I have some that will let a projectile go through the neck.
    They all need to pass through, but this may just be a red herring for now. Focus on the basics

    How do you fix the neck donuts?
    You don't in my experience. Just throw it away and start again.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
