Though I would post another one to keep it going but thought I would try logic this time.
1= What happens when you full length size a cartridge case = It no longer fits the chamber. What difference does that Make ? The most accurate rifles in the world are bag guns (They have no cartridge case, because it would be to big to handle) But the chamber remains exactly the same Every time it is fired.
When sizing a case, many things will prevent it from being exactly the same dimensions as the dies. Thickness differences, spring back, the amount of sizing, Orientation in the chamber when fired, ETC
The less you size, the better the fit in the chamber and the more consistent the case volume will be also the less case stretch you will have that changes the internal volume. Is that Bad ?
There are lots of references to the old days and the now. In the old days bench rest shooters never sized there cases, they were chamber to fit the case and the bullet would be pushed in by hand with just enough grip to hold the bullet in place and then seated against the lands when closing the bolt. They would even orient the case logo in the chamber for consistence. Some even used the same case for every shot (This was the most consistent way Back then). Some still practice
this process. But now it is more common to do some sizing and sort cases for consistency. Could it be that components are better now, chambers are better, barrels are better, stocks are better ?
I cant help but believe that if these practices were still used along with the better components that better results would be possible.
This is a hurry up world and everything takes to much time for the net gain for most. Some will take the time if only to improve a few thousandths. most wont and for there application it may not be necessary.
No one will ever convince ether side of this debate that they are right or wrong. So why try. Apply logic to your argument and don't listen to anyone and then decide.
Keep it going !!!! Your logic is spot on!!
