I full length resize. But I do have a specific load for a specific rifle that I use a Lee loader to produce because it shoots tiny groups as a result. In that case if it ain't broke..... Don't break it.
too many times I've loaded for a specific rifle only to trade it off. Made myself some more work taking them apart.
I know what you do.ain't tellin
what type of Sinclair gauge?We then set up his FL die to bump shoulders and he ordered a Sinclair gauge like mine.
I've mentioned the LEE crimp more than once on here.Neck size on what is previously fired in the bolt rifle I am loading for. Full length for my 742 in 308. I also use Lee factory crimp dies on all rifle and pistol rounds
what type of Sinclair gauge?
I have heard/read .001-.003 shoulder bump. Do you have a good read to share on .004?

I generally neck size, especially when I'm OCD'ing on precision. I even keep my brass sorted whether or not I have more than one rifle in the same caliber.
Lever Gun and Handgun boolits get full length, of course and a LEE crimp.
I LOVE THE LEE CRIMP.
I’d have to look it up to be sure but I think it was called a bump gauge.
I'm asking out of ignorance.....I tend to do that on occasion.
What are the benefits you find from the LEE crimp dies ?
Again....dumb guy question, but are you generally seating & crimping simultaneously ?
