Thread: Full Length or Neck sizing. What is better and why?

You have to find what works for you and your rifle(s).

When I started I listened to a lot of experienced shooters/reloaders.

I'm a minimalist reloader, I do a little as possible and as much as necessary.

I have 3 .308 rifles used for target shooting, both FTR & TR.
They are all Barnard actions. Similar but not identical chambers.

I full length size every time with a bushing die because the case could be reused in any of the rifles.

FL sizing doesn't seem to have shortened case life as the first couple of lots of cases I bought have been fired 15+ times.
(I've only just started to anneal & trim these cases.) I don't neck turn or anything else fancy.
