Bart, most of them have kind of quit. Some of them truly full length size. Most of the ones I know who are not neck sizing are using custom dies made to their chamber and though technically full length sizing, they are not sizing very much. They are sizing so little that you can put just a little wax on the neck and size the brass without sticking it. Its sizing the full length, but not sizing as small as a typical full length die would do.
You are correct in saying that bench rest shooting is definitely moving toward some form of full length sizing. I have a custom set of dies that came with my .30Br. that has a neck die, body die, seating die. If you use the body die after using the neck die, it has almost no resistance.
