I never tire of hearing that. I'm sure the others do too.

I know I might sound like preaching when I mention AR's search or find function but there are literally years of knowledge on this forum. Don't cheat yourselves by not utilizing it. More likely than not, your question has been asked before and answered before by someone who isn't logged in on the specific day you're asking it now. Don't miss out on past answers. They might be explained in more depth or a different way.

I can put off buying one of those expensive Gracey powered case trimmers since case trimming should be kept to a minimum. I can prolly get by with a good wilson with the sinclair extras!

take a look at lee's trimmer; you can spend a shitload of money if you want, but it is hardly necessary.

even hornady and dillon sluts use it and it and report outstanding results.

Cobrajet, why don't you just partial-length resize with your full-length dies? This will lengthen case life tremendously and ensure the cases will go in the chamber out in the field in dirty conditions. Just back the F-L die out one full turn and check the cases in your chamber. If they are too tight to close the bolt, just start turning in the die 1/8th at a time until you are happy with the fit. The sharpshooters say you need 1/2 of the bullet diameter of the neck resized to properly hold the bullet, but I've seen as little as 1/4th. Just depends on you and your chamber/rifle. Works great. I don't own any neck sizing dies.

Ditto on the Lee trimmer. The best I've seen.

FLRS & Neck sizing with standard dies works the neck the same. Bushing dies are the only way to not over work the neck on sizing. When flrs, control your flrs die adjustment by using a RCBS Precision Mic. The Redding Type S flrs bushing die lets you do both in one operation.
