I am new to reloading and have gotten conflicting advice on whether I should neck resize or resize the whole brass? I am reloading 9.3x74R and .300 Win Mag. The .300 is for a bolt-action and the 9.3 for a double rifle. The brass will have been fired in the same rifle that it's going back into. What is the preferred method? Oxon | ||

I do partial size 9,3x74R cases to avoid early case separation. In the present case the goal is NOT to better accuracy as I do with my bolt action rifles. Consequently, I don't go as far as reaching headspace "0" (= feel the rifle close on the case). Doing so may result in staining the action and getting the rifle off face. I do bump the shoulder slightly, just enough to allow the action to close without strain. I started doing that years ago after getting incipient separation of FL cases around 1-3 firings and have since greatly increased case life.

Andre, Could you tell me how you "Bump the shoulder back"? Is this just a partial re-size with a FL sizing die? Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Right Rusty, partial sizing with a FL sizer it is. I touch the shoulder ever so lightly, just barely enough so as to allow closing the rifle without "feeling" the round in the chamber. André DRSS --------- 3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact. 5 shots are a group. | |||
