Hey, Guys,
I've gotten a lot of questions about how I full-form size along with several requests to put together a video showing my technique. Definitely not claiming to have the best way to do it, but it works well for me.
I'm going to be putting together a revised one in a few weeks once I get the updated Swing-Lock die, so feel free to chime in with anything you'd like to see in the next release.

Can the Nosler partition bullets be sized or will the partition prevent the bullet from being squeezed down?

Nice job Luke. Something I've been wondering about is how close FF sizing will need to be with the .040 bushing and more complete/immediate ignition. I guess there will always be something to test.

Great well done video. Have you ever attempted to find the exact land line up on the barrel as opposed to same land of the barrel drop in the die? Or does it matter as long as the bullet is placed in the same position each time? Or is that question making any sense at all?  |

I like how you demonstrated that you can get better leverage by unscrewing the die about 1-2 inches. Good video, Now I know why Myers129 said he could beat the crap out of you--you are so tiny.

There is one orientation on my barrel that is definitely the right fit. |

There is one orientation on my barrel that is definitely the right fit. In my .392/.400 pac nor I have eliminated the need to index bullet to barrel by running bullet through the die 180 degres from the first sizing. After doing this the bullet fits the barrel the same anyway you rotate it. I have shot best groups doing this. Great video Luke. |

Can the Nosler partition bullets be sized or will the partition prevent the bullet from being squeezed down? The noslers size fine with the full form die they just require a little more force, the only issue is that they ususally have to be taken down a little farther than the parkers because of their thicker jackets. once you determine the setting on the die. |

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Nicely done and informative!
One thing I do differently, I use a "Whiteout" pen and put a index mark on the press ram, an index mark at the base of the bullet ram that lines up with the press ram index mark, and an index mark at the top of the bullet ram that I use to line up the index mark on the bullet. Keeps me from having to bend over and and look at the bottom of the die to index the bullet and when I switch back and forth from smooth to FF everything lines up again.
Thanks again Luke and nice job.

Nice video Luke!
Yes rambler I was amazed at how articulate Luke is for a man of his color....
Phil, you aren't suppose to disclose what we talk about in PM's.... You're gonna give Luke a complex, I haven't ordered anything from him in a while. He was probably starting to wonder anyways. Luke I'm hoping to place some decent sized orders pretty quick here! Gotta burn through the stuff I bought last go round.

Informational and articulate. I like it. Having lived in Arkansas for 28 years it's nice to hear someone who can formulate a sentence and conjugate their verbs  |

Nice job Luke! As someone that hasn't jumped into the sizing dies yet this was helpful.

Thanks for the compliments guys... Trying to monologue for 10 minutes was harder than I expected. I'm no Larry Potterfield. Phil/Myers, thanks for the good laugh this morning. Phil... now I know why you want me to hunt with you, for my packing ability. |

You should have ended with "easy to do with the right tools, impossible without them". Larry really ticks me off every time he says that, I'm always trying to use the wrong tools....
