I load new full length sized Lapua brass on an old Lee classic press, prime on the press too, don't sort weigh bullets or brass, check runout, turn necks, uniform pockets or flash holes, all that may not be necessary only going to 1000 yards with a good accurate rifle and load, the surgical procedures may be necessary if going 'really' long.
I guess I would just ask why bother to buy new Lapooey brass then?
Prolly get the same results with picked up range brass, just saying.

I went into this build knowing I was going to be leaning on the old 6.5x55, I was going to get 29-3000 fps with 147-150gr bullets, no better brass than Lapua, I don't pick up range brass as I don't go to ranges, I shoot right here at the home on the range.
