Does anyone here have a preference for National Match over Standard sizing dies? This is how they are explained by Forster with Small Base dies thrown in for good measure.

Standard versus National Match FLS dies
I need to full length size some .308 brass over the weekend and I must admit this is not a normal practice for me as I am a habitual neck sizer only with just the occasional full length size through an ancient Lee die. I hauled the die out today and realised it was showing its age, even with a careful clean and polish of the internals I was not convinced so I now have a shiny new Forster FLS die however it is a National Match so in theory the shoulders will be set back by .003" or thereabouts.

Hi ovenpaa
I use the redding competition set and that has a FL body die so I can mess with the neck sperately. I just take the expander ball / decapper out of the neck die. So I can then just squeese the neck gently one way. I mostly only use this for brass not shot in my chamber, like you I mostly neck size only.
