After annealing, neck or full size?

[paul o']

I full length size everytime.It doesn't overwork the brass, continuity with every round & guaranteed to chamber.

This for me.

Beg to differ, but that's probably where I'm "going wrong" I anneal every time I reload but only neck size as I'm a lazy sod with limited time on my hands so I use carbide neck dies with no lube. Yes, I periodically have to full size, but frankly with my .243 that's roughly every 10 neck sizes and with the .308 slightly less. I haven't full sized my .270 cases yet and they have been going since pre-COVID.

I shoulder bump using a full length sizing die

I do pretty much the same re sizing and have never had a problem. I shoot a .223 and a .308, both for hunting. For neck-sizing, I use LE Wilson dies; for full-length, I use Lee dies and a Lee press.
