I neck size until I start to feel some resistant when chambering a round then I full length resize - usually after 2-3 reloads. I find it slows the need for case trimming as well as decreasing the chance of a case head separation. This. Has been working for me for years, except I will bump shoulders with a body die instead of FL size.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Neck size with a Lee Collet, bump shoulders as necessary with a Redding body die.
That assumes it is not for multiple rifles or an auto of some sort, those can change the equation. my regimen exactly.. The less I work the brass the longer it lasts me... I anneal almost every time... Test fitting into the chamber, before pulling out the body die... if it needs it or is tight, then I use the body die to bump the shoulder and the rest of it back down to specs. some of my loads, only require that every 4th or 5th reload. +1

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.

I've had my suspicions along that line.

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"

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

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.

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.

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.
