[QUOTE="lhsmith, post: 3034687, member: 100947"] If you read most current reloading manuals they will still claim Benchrest competitors rely on neck-sized cases for best accuracy. I started SRBR competition in 2001 and every one Full Length sized their cases. The transition came around 1990 when shooters finally realized that 1/ fighting bolt closure on a loaded round disturbed the rifle in the bags that resulted in errant shots and 2/ shooting in the extreme upper limit of the load window was what was winning matches. You can't subject neck-sized cases to hot loads without fighting to close and or open the bolt. Add to this the increased availability of specialty dies ( bushing, small base) and custom dies that offer a more precise control on sizing over the old "it's either FL or NS" off the shelf die choice.
