Hi Guys I'm kinda new here , I just want to ask a question . If I leave about 1/8 inch gap between my shell holder and the bottom of the die will I resize the neck only . I'm reloading fro a 9.3x62 and want to stay away from the shoulder as much as possible .

Back the die off the holder all the way, then gradually run it in, checking the progress by the sizing marks on the neck until you get down to within .015" - .020" of the neck/shoulder juncture. This will leave a small portion of the neck unsized which will assist in chamber alignment and keep from bumping the shoulder.

After so many reloadings, the brass will become hard to seat and you will need to bump the shoulder back just a tad for better chambering.

Welcome to the forum Bradford. Another option I use is one of Lee's collet neck sizing dies. You still need to full length size new cases, but the Lee collet dies do a dandy job and require no lubrication.
