I would like to know, for people who do reloading and long range shooting, do you resize full lenght you brass all the time? I take a course and they told me to don't resize my brass the one I shoot with the same rifle I'll shoot those again because they take expension but they will work better because they take the size of my barrel. What do you think about that?

Another question, do you take off your ejector on the bolt to take off the pressure on the brass and keep the center in good place. What do you do with that?
 
Baby steps . Read up , practice shooting get some brass of same brand . I would suggest full sizing UNTILL you get some know how and leave your ejector be
 
The process I use is to fire the brass twice with neck sizing so I know the full size length. Then I full length resize but use Redding competition shell holders to only reduce the length by .001 to no more than .002. The length I'm referring is base to shoulder (datum on the SAAMI drawing).

The ejector, is more a personal preference. I like to pick the brass from the action than from the ground or try to catch it mid air.

I have removed the ejector from target rifles, so I can put the empty case back in the box.

What do you mean by this ? No disrespect but it seems I have somthing to learn . I've reloaded for quite some time but have never went through the extra measures that guys do for competition
 
Exactly as it sounds. Fire, bolt comes back, put your finger in and grab the spent case, put it in the ammo box and grab the next round. Don't forget most target actions are single shot. Having no ejector doesn't work so well when you're feeding from a magazine :)
 
I'll have the Redding competition. But reduce only all lengh by .001 ou .002 I didn't know we can do it. Usually whe we use a full lenght Die for exemple .308 the lenght is not automatic size. We adjuste the sholder area but not all the lenght. I'm not sure, I just do my reloading courses and don't remember, I know what he told use it was never resizing a brass when you shoot with ours rifle. The size of the brass will be exactly the good lenght for your rifle because it take expension in your rifle and it came back a little smaller than the gun chamber and thus is a perfect size for our rifle.
 
You can partially resize brass using an FL die, by adjusting the die. This keeps the brass close to the chamber size, if done properly. Neck sizing does the same thing by sizing the neck only. However, after two or three firings using the neck sizing die, the brass will become too tight in the chamber, and you need to use the FL die.
This will all become clear to you with experience. Learn the basics of reloading, then you can get fancy.
