Default RE: Neck Sizing

In a way, yes. It's called partial full length resizing. The concept is to set the die a little higher than for a FL resizing. Start with the die several turns up and run a case through it, then check to see if the case will easily chamber (I take the firing pin out of the bolt so the only resistance I feel is the case). Adjust the die down a bit at a time and recheck until the bolt just closes without any resistance, then start resizing all your brass. The result is a case that is just barely under the size of the chamber and a neck that has been resized. It does work the brass a bit more than neck only but not as much as FL resizing.

Good luck.
