    It's very hard to argue with Eric's results. I watched his video about neck sizing vs full length sizing and thought, alright I'll give it a go. It made a bit of a difference. These are two 3 shot groups shot about a month (possibly longer) apart, from the same rifle ( Howa 1500 308), same
    type of projectiles from the same box, same powder from the same bottle, etc.

    What I'm getting at is the only difference was I full length sized the brass and the group size halved. I know 3 shots is only indicative and maybe Jupiter was fully aligned with Uranus for the second group on the left, but...I'm converted. I'll be full length sizing for this rifle from now on.
