Chevy Bob, conditioning, they say you need a neck sizer because the are condition to say "You gotta have a neck sizer", there is an element on reloading forms that think the natural path to reloading is 'SKIP THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF RELOADING' reloading has two essential elements, one the die and shell holder, the other is the chamber.
Accuracy and brass longevity,yea,that is the first thing a reloader aspires to accomplish??? The reloaders first objective to learn and understand what they are doing, I have neck sizer dies, I have small base dies, I do plan to use both one day but first I plan on running out of things I can do with the vestal full length sizer die. With the Versatile full length sizer die I forms cases for short chamber, .012 thousands shorter than a minimum length case to field reject length in thousands, and that is without accidentally bumping, there is nothing I do that is an accident when sizing I place the shoulder exactly where I want it.
