Am I thinking right?

Okay folks, I've got about 15-20pcs of 6.5 Creedmoor brass. They've been sized/deprimed, problem is I can't remember if I neck sized em or F/L sized em.

Neck sizer and full length sizer are Lee dies. Regardless of how they were sized first, If I just run these through the F/L die I'm good right?

Yup. F/L sizing will take care of any problems. Neck sizing only will not correct a case that has a bulge etc.
 
Yes but... If I necked sized em it would be the first time after F/L sizing so I think they'd still chamber freely
 
I don't understand. You either resized them or you didn't.
Oh I definitely sized/deprimed them, I just don't know if FL sized em or neck sized em. I'm still playing around with loads with FL and N/sized brass, and I keep the brass separate, but dum dum didn't label these after he sized em weeks ago
 
I personally would skip the neck sizing and strictly F/L size using a quality F/L bushing die such as a Wilson or Widden that only reduce the body about.002 at the case shoulder junction and the .200 datum
The results are more consistent ammunition IMHO
 
If your going to use the neck die I would suggest turning the necks if you don't already. Also If you want to use the neck die, just get a Redding body die. I use 3 dies all different brands and my runout is real low. I am seating with a Forster BR seating die.
