You can pick up a cheap pair of calipers for $20, you really need a pair. And without them, you can't answer the question. Full length sized once fired brass does grow after firing and sizing, but how much it grows depends on the dimensions of the virigin brass, your chamber, what type of action the rifle is built on, and the sizing dies. There are some gun/cartridge combinations that grow enough on sizing to require sizing every time you size them. Get the caliper and find out if thats the case with your rifle. __________________________________________________ The AR series of rounds, ridding the world of 7mm rem mags, one gun at a time. | |||

I bought a really nice pair of calipers on Ebay for nearly nothing. You've just got to have them if your going to reload. Good luck. Red C. Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion. | |||
