Hi guys,

Is it neseccery to full length size your brass after like 3-4 loads, to prevent a tight bolt.

I though I read something like that one day but can't remember ! :?

You might.For my 243AI and 204 I just neck size with bump shoulder neck bushing dies,and have body dies if needed.They dont size as much as a FL die,and they also will bump the shoulder.

If they are starting to fit tight, then maybe, but first check the OAL of your case. It could be the neck is growing and needs trimmed back to spec. The less you work a case full length the longer it will usually last. Bill K :)
