Hahaha,
I'm not a good shot with anything, even though I've shot a lot, but I learned a long time ago as a reloading newb that semi autos & lever action rifles brass had to be fls every loading for 100% chambering reliability.
That neck sized bolt action rounds may sometimes chamber in different bolt action same caliber rifles, but don't rely on it. I have a rem700 and a ruger 77 rifle, both have loose slut chambers, their necked sized loadings won't chamber into my other same caliber rifles.
I have a rt1200 with several fls/trim dies for my semi, lever & general bolt rifles ammo.
For each bolt rifles I neck size brass for (depending on rifle is 500rnds or less, when practice/shooting I feel difference in chambering/extraction, I use a chamber brush with shot of gunk spray, taught/learned to do this on 1st prairie dog hunt ever went on, it was shot of carb spray on piece of shirt sleave on cleaning jag that time).
my routine is fls for first hunt/practice target loading, then neck size for two hunt/target loadings, then fls once for hunt/practice target load so on/so forth, for the calibers I don't have much brass for I will anneal.
This neck sized brass and ammo boxes are marked for rifle it is loaded for.
