Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Neck Sizing ?

This. Has been working for me for years, except I will bump shoulders with a body die instead of FL size.

No hunting ammo should be loaded in used cases.

New top quality and uniformed as per this book.

OR Premium factory ammo if your rifle likes it.

Guess I’ve been doing it all wrong for the last 40-odd years.

Oh well…..🤷‍♂️

There's nothing wrong with that book.....but you're full of schidt.

Bullshit

LOL, stxhunter says UpThePole is Larry Root's new sock puppet. I believe him.

I've had my suspicions along that line.

Well up the butthole, are all the game animals I shot over the last 50 years gonna rise from the dead because I didn't use new brass? Lol what idiot....mb

Never had an ammo failure when hunting by following Zediker's advice to the letter.

See no reason to believe name calling "men" rather than him.

Do as you wish but he's forgotten more than you "experts" will ever know.

"follow the yellow brick road"

So, tell us about all the failures you have with your reloads Larry.
Maybe we can help you out.

I'm not calling any names, I'm just calling bullshit on the assertion.

That’s funny MB. I must be cheap, I’m still shooting the same 60 RWS 300 Win cases I formed in 2016 when I had the second Mashburn built. If they have less than 15 firings on them I’d buy the beer. I anneal each time, minimally size them and they just keep hammering along. Definitely getting my moneys worth from them…

They’ll be up on the mountain this fall as well. I don’t believe they’ll turn to dust or disintegrate anytime soon.

Once fired brass is proven. New isn't.

Properly processed fired brass often makes straighter cartridges than new does.

It's all I do. Only downside is if one has duplicate rifles, ones cartridges will more than likely not fit in both.

Neck size only.

I necksize to save time and case life for casual range ammo. For anything serious I use full-length resizing dies to fit the chamber.

i always check my handloaded used brass ammo in the rifle so ammo fits properly , i use plenty used brass in my rifles ,matter facted i am more worried i might loose that piece of brass than anything. my son knows my 1st question after he has shot an animal : did you save the brass for me ?

used rifle brass that i have reworked , weighed and use in my own rifle will out preform new factory ammo . factory ammo is made to preform decent in many different brand and types of rifles for the average person that does not understand or use handloaded ammo. but let me say this also my friends will do anything for me to get some of my handloaded ammo for this fall and in past falls.

How do you know the full length sized case fits the chamber?
