Hi,
I still circulate through options on what to proceed with and lack general understanding of how exactly to deal with it.
Based on what i did read so far, opinions do really split on the factual benefits of choosing a particular method/die.
a usual FL sizer goes for $47, Type S bushing neck sizer die is at $72 something, competition bushing is $148. The latter seems to have a micrometer on top - for what purpose i actually fail to understand fully, as it is a bushing sizer that is supposed to be setup once and locked in, but, ok. May be there is some important function to it there.
A bushing for it would be an another $30 or so.
Reviews are also not helping much, a lot of people seem to both like and bash both type S and competition dies.
So, as the theory goes that if - and for me it is a big if - if you fire same brass from a same dedicated gun only, then it fireforms into ideal shape for that chamber and you should benefit from doing a neck sizing only, not touching the body. to what degree it actually holds true? is it something that is worth to be obsessing about - or will a usual full length sizer be more than adequate with no loss of accuracy?
A lot of folks seem to be saying they do a full body as they saw no real benefits from doing a neck sizing only and FL sizing is safer and does all the same, pretty much.
Is there anybody here who went to those type s or competition dies for precision rounds and saw an actual difference worth the, what, a $140 premium above regular FL sizer die?
Dies i spoke of are these, i look at 6.5CM versions only:
