Newbie: how does this sound?

How will a Win model 94 and a Remington 7600 work without full length resizing?

The cases will stick on extraction after a few firings just neck sizing, read my post #10 with a lee loader and my 760 Remington pump.

Example with a semi-auto rifle, the full length resized case should be .003 to .005 smaller in diameter than its fired diameter. This allows the case to spring back from the chamber walls and extract reliably.

When Neck Sizing Is Appropriate
http://www.massreloading.com/rifle_neck_sizing.html

"Cartridges for a bolt action or single-shot rifles can be neck sized. Since the case has been fire-formed to a specific chamber, a neck sized cartridge can only be used in the rifle that last fired it. If your ammo is to be used in more than one rifle, full-length size it instead. Cartridges for semi-auto, and lever or slide-action rifles should not be neck sized because the cartridge-to-chamber fit is too tight for reliable feeding. Cartridges for these types of rifles should be full-length sized only."

Again you are better off with the Lee Challenger starter kit and have the ability to full length resize. All a Lee loader does is reduce the neck diameter enough to hold a bullet, it does not size the body of the case and the shoulder.

Full length resizing reduces the entire case diameter and pushes the shoulder back and neck sizing only reduces the neck diameter. Meaning a neck sized only case will be hard to chamber and extract as the fired case conforms the chamber dimensions.

Look at the photo below, on a bolt action lifting the bolt is called primary extraction and it breaks the case free from the chamber walls. And when the bolt is hard to close or open it means the case is too snug a fit in the chamber and needs full length resized.
