Some I've read say full size every time, others neck size only till chambering becomes an issue. The the middle road said full size but don't cam over (Hornady Classic) so that you only set the shoulder back 0.002" so that you don't over work your brass and the the case is resized. Having done that today I first measured the head space of my fire formed brass at 1.625" them after resizing as above the head space measured 1.626"?? Any thoughts?
I also am having problems with my RCBS hand primer. The federal primers want to hang on entering the pocket of the Lapua brass sporadically and the ram mark on the primer is always off center. Does this sound like a problem with the operator or the tool?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
