I remember reading something along the lines of there being only a set amount of tension you can get out of a given piece of brass also. For example if I sized a .284 down to .275 then seated a projectile and pulled it the brass could only spring back to say .281? Not sure if it made any real sense.
I just full length size, non bushing die, now. No real world disadvantage for a hunting rifle.

Depends how far you're shooting
