Should I size the case body first and then neck size or is the order of business irrelevant?
thanks

I always size neck first, then body. I'm not totally sure why. If there is a reason, then I must have forgotten it in the meantime.

I do the opposite. Use the Redding Body Die first and then neck size. My thinking is that if the body die changes the dimension on the neck then I can size it last.

But I don't think it matters.

IMO you should body size first so you get the best chance at a straight neck. If you size the neck and then size the body you could be asking for some run-out.

Good Luck!
