    As long as you are using the same brass in the same bolt action gun neck sizing is ideal. The lee collet neck sizing dies are the best out there for neck sizing. I load a lot of old military calibers and this is the best way to keep the brass living a long life. If a couple rounds start getting hard to load I full length size the whole lot of brass. Usually that is after 5 to 8 neck sizings.

    I also neck size everything, until it needs to be full length sized. It’s worked well for me through the years. My brass life is good, unless I’ve hammered the brass with high pressure loads. I can’t compare what I do with full length sizing every time, because I’ve always done it this way. But like with everything, there is more than one way to skin a cat, so figure out what works best for you and stick with it.
