    For you that neck size only

    Do you change your load with new brass from your load you've fire formed your brass with? With my new remington 5R, I accidently found my dream load first time out with new brass, .250-.400moa cofirmed with 30 rounds. Is it safe to assume I should just neck size and load up as the exact same as...

    Full-length resizing or neck only?

    Sorry, but I'm full of questions on reloading...but you guys have really given me some great insight! For match chamber bolt guns (and keeping the brass separate for each). Do you like to full length resize or just neck size your brass? I'm FL sizing for my autos. This is primarily for .308...

    lee collet neck sizer

    Anybody use the collet neck sizer die? I tried one out last night and I had to fiddle with it a lot to get the neck tension tight enough to hold a bullet without being able to pull it out by hand, even though they measured the same as my FL sized brass which I believe is .305 ID.

    Oil on the Neck

    I have been told that you have to be careful getting oil on the neck of a round that you are resizing, that this could cause the die to deform the neck. But I have also seen here where others have suggested oilling the whole round before resizing? I know that using a spray would be much faster...
