I had some fitment issues with the Qual Cart Basic brass (they should obviously be checked).
The cartridge diameter just in front of the extractor ring exceeded the diameter of the cartridge numbers (and that of every other '06 case drawing). They had to be turned just in that one area, some cases, not all, but a pain.
My barrel was done by Pac-Nor, pre fire, when they had a reamer. Yes, the reamer was specc'd correctly. Without this issue, basic brass should be trim to length, a trip through the FL (CH4D dies wont mess up the shoulder, ever) load and go.
I use 35 Whelen cases, most recently some Noslers. I use a 416 tapered expander in a Redding '06 class die. This is just to expand and the 416 expander brings the 35 case at the shoulder past .459, and then sized in the FL die. Runout on the 35 Whelen Noslers are also quite a bit better than the Qual Carts as well and theres no trimming out of the gate either.
