When I neck size my .303 British loads I bump the shoulder back just a touch
i would not size brass as described for the 303, just because it could be done , doesn't mean you should do it. Buy the correct neck sizing die. Besides, i find that FLRS is more accurate and reliable/dependable.Could this be done with the 8mm mauser?
Also do you need to lube the case?
You must lube the outside of the case and inside the neck because you are Full Length Resizing.Bumping back the shoulder is nothing more than Full Length Resizing , but the die is backed out off the shell holder as little as .001" to .005"
With the value of the dollar down about 30% in the last year or so, i would think buying US Items with Euro would be a bargin. Did this Thread get off the subject or what?1 Euro = 1.4678 U.S. dollars
as long as you're loading for the same gun you fired the brass in, do you have to understand head space to do neck sizing?
oh, don't start that 'head clearance' discussion again!
ed_e, as long as you're loading for the same gun you fired the brass in, do you have to understand head space to do neck sizing?
when i neck size (e.g. 308win) i don't touch the shoulder. just the neck. so the brass stays however it was when it came out of that chamber.
