What crock of schit! Those are some of the best shooters/ smiths in the country, so i'll take there advice all day long over someone with a $20 Lee die set. Hopefully the newbies DO see it, and understand it's most certainly the best way to size your brass period. Why size your brass 3 to 5 times one way, and then have to FL size to get it to fit RIGHT again? I want uniform everything... everything the same everytime!
What a crock........period.
Neck sizing with a good die will most of the time produce less neck runout than
conventional FL sizing dies for our
hunting or
varmint rifles.
The BR shooters (and most other of the competitive shooters) are using Wilson style dies cut with the same reamer as their custom, lapped, minimum spec chambered barrels.
Do you have barrels and dies that are reamed to minimum specs?
Competition improves the breed, but attempting to mimic some parts of the competitive shooters regime while not doing everything else is like putting a wing on our pickup and expecting to compete in the Indy 500........
I can make as good or better accuracy by making straighter necks by Nk sizing with a LCD or conventional Nk die--no lube, no stretch, no trimming--and make brass last exponentially longer than when FL sizing for my hunting and varmint rifles.
There is a difference between pushing the shoulder back and FL sizing.
