Respectfully,
I get that Dirtfarmer, and I fully know that, but what I don’t get, is that a Full Length resizing die does all what you both have stated.
I have “partial-length” resized for years with a Full Length resizing die as there was no collet die available then. And back in those days, I couldn’t afford a real neck sizing die.
I learned from older reloaders, one a bench rest shooter, that “partial-length resizing” can give you a bumped back shoulder and a “partially” re-sized neck. But as I also found out, it depended a lot on the actual internal dimensions of the dies I had purchased, which seemed to vary.
Contrary to what so many believe, a case neck really only needs to be re-sized 1/2 of the bullet diameter, and still hold what ever accuaracy the rifle will allow.
Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts and have enjoyed reading these post.
