[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1291240, member: 6845"] You will need both unless you plan on full length resizing your brass every time. This has a tendency to overwork your brass and make them not last as long. With neck sizing, you are only sizing the necks to allow for proper tension to hold the bullets when you reload. It does nothing to reset the cartridge back to original specs. After a few firings, the cartridges will become hard to close the bolt on or will not allow the bolt to close at all. When that happens, you will need to full length resize the cartridge. I will say that if you order Redding competition dies, the full length resizer is typically a body die. That die will full length resize the cartridge but not touch the neck. This will cause you to have an extra step to run the cartridge through the neck sizing die. If you do not want this extra step, you will need to order the full length bushing die as well. For info, I didn't talk about a standard full length sizing die since you are entertaining the idea of neck sizing only. Neck bushing dies allow you to customize the amount of tension so standard full length sizing will vary on neck tension more than likely when compared to neck sizing only. [/QUOTE]
