In the past, I have always FL sized all cases. But recently, I have tried no sizing at all. I hand seat the GG bullet. My groups are as good now as prior testing. Just have to be sure the OAL is where it needs to be, very close, if not touching softly in the rifle throat. Strangly though, I had to try different PRIMERS in order to get the groups small again.
The test rifle is a Shiloh Sharps, 45/70.

i have started without resizing my Cases and receive good results on papertarget for me. after reading some books and threads i began with full and necksizing my cases but could not see any improvement. My last Batch are resized only a little so far that i will be able to press in the Bullets by hand . I like the feeling that the bullets do not fall out by holding the case upside down.
Maybe this last try will give me a better performance otherwise i come back to unsized cases
