[QUOTE="JAnderson94, post: 871703, member: 72099"] I was reading here on the net that some people use a FL die as a partial neck sizing die. This is a new caliber for me to reload and have only did a little bit of .223 before this. So I thought this might increase case life, be easier on the brass, etc. It is just a RCBS FL die, I'm using Lapua brass. I put a small amount of black sharpie on the shoulder to determine if the case was contacting the die. Then ran the case up into the die with no lube, backed it off and it looked "scored" after it came out with a distinct line where it stopped sizing. I tried with a small amount of lube and it was a little better, but not much. This has never happened with my .223 RCBS die. This didn't happen with my Federal brass, but then again it's not known for being a quality brass that the Lapua is... If anyone has a tip or idea... it would be much appreciated! thanks, James [/QUOTE]
