Thanks for the info Keith. My chamber has some freebore in it, but I can easily reach the lands with the bullets I'm using which are longer than what you are using (I have an 8 twist barrel so I'm generally shooting bullets around 75 grains). I did not run the new Lapua cases through a sizing die before I fireformed them. All I did is prime, add powder, and seat bullets. So far, through two reloading cycles, I have only neck sized the brass using a Redding competition bushing die without an expander ball.
