Agree, also how I do my 17 HH, and seems also to gain better accuracy and case life.

Very similar here, NS about 3/4 length of the neck using the Hornady NS die, and inside lube the neck with powdered graphite.

Yep, I am another one who partial sizes with a regular size die. I used to use the lee collet die but since I have more than a few Hornets and the chambers vary, usually the length of the neck and shoulder height. I found some chambers the Lee die will actually size into the shoulder. I had to use a washer on the shell holder if I wanted it to work. I found it funny, the Anschutz (Europe) chambers were fine with the Lee but the US made chambers (Ruger, T/C) didn't work so well. Even though I keep my brass separated I just partial size the neck with the regular FL die now.
Due to the fragile cases I started using a Forester seater die with the floating chamber, works good. |

For example, WW is thicker than R-P & would require a larger dia. than the Rem brass. In my first CZ, I used only RP brass, but did experiment with WW brass in the second one.

FWIW
RWS and PPU are both quite thick. Remington is quite thin. Avoid the new Winchester (red bag) it is thin and has a bad history of blowing the heads at low and high pressure. I cannot comment on Hornady brass but I believe it thicker than Rem and thinner than PPU and RWS. RWS does have some issues with some shell holders, they cut the rim quite square and some shell holders do not like it. Best in show for the value is the PPU, it is consistent and inexpensive but you will want to anneal it after the first or second firing, from there every 8-10 or so will do.

I use L.E. Wilson bushing dies, and love them. I much prefer a bushing die for the Hornet as nearly every kind of brass requires a different bushing. I have yet to full length resize, but I only have 4 fireings on my Remington brass. I use a full case of LilGun which is fairly low psi, which might help with case life. I would really try to stick to one brand of brass if possible. I shoot a Savage 40 and it's better not to lean on psi with it.

I've had great results a Lee Collet die set. Easy to use and inexpensive.
