Recently picked up a Carl Gustav 3000 (Sauer 80) in 9.3x62 and was wondering if I should neck size my brass instead of FL sizing due to the rear locking action? Would case stretching be a concern? Not going to load max. More mid level.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Would it be worthwhile ordering a custom Lee collet die? Or just PFL size?

I partial full length size all my bottleneck cases and have no worries about feeding function or case stretch. The Hornady shoulder gauge that clamps on your calipers is a wonderful help, just set your full length dies to bump the shoulder a thou or two and all is good!

I will pick up the shoulder gauge from Hornady. Thanks for the recommendation.
