Now if I was bench competing, I would never consider messing with so many outliers but I am a coyote hunter with occasional ground squirrels thrown in for practice.
In using the Wilson case holder I can feel and see the difference in degree in spring back with relatively recently made brass just from what it was fired in. Cases that are lubed the same, FL sized in the same die at the same adjustments moments apart, same year brass, yet the holder tells the story ........ some cases simply will not body size down as far as others.
If the body size variation is such, I have to assume the shoulder location has some variation as well.
In any case where these faster tools such as Little Crow are satisfying their owners needs then more power to them.
I am just contrasting strengths and possible issues.
