[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3066266, member: 5412"] If one only has a single caliber in a bolt gun, fire forming the case to the chamber then trimming to a consistent length is a common practice. In reality, when the round goes off, the brass swells/flows to fill the chamber, seals off the gases, then retracts milliseconds later for extraction. In my 30-06, the only one I have, I've never ran the rounds through a total resizer die after the first shooting. Only neck size afterward, and trim to length. Neck sizing dies are a seperate animal. Neck sizing won't work on ammo designed for semiauto guns. [/QUOTE]
