I usually buy Rem or WW bulk brass and it is beat up a fair amount especially with bent necks. Running them through a Lee collet die straightens everything out then trimming and chamfering. After first fire they need to be checked for length again. However, if I get lazy (usually) I've been known to forego any prep and just load them and do all the trim and chamfer after first firing. Depends on what they look like out of the bag....


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
