Neck size, trim, chamfer, load and shoot.

This.


I do this^^. Preferable with a Lee Collet die if I have one for that round. I also deburr the flash hole if it's any brand other than Lapua or Norma.

What I do to it depends on the state it's in.


I'm pretty sure he's from Texas.

That's what I do, if need be. I saw it described in The Big Book of Gun Gack. The theory is that the case oughta be at SAAMI specs from the get-go, and one only need touch-up any dented or out-of-round necks. FL resizing is an unneeded extra step, that would just work-harden the brass.

Then again, I anneal most of my brand new brass, before uniforming the necks, so I could just be talking outa my [rectum] on wasted steps. laugh Again, the Gack book mentioned that brass is occasionally annealed incorrectly at the factory, and annealing it before it's 1st use might offer more benefit than the slight risk of softening the brass.

Now, I have just recently ponied-up for some Nosler brass in a couple of chamberings, and the necks looked good enough to run as-is. However, I did chamfer the inside of the necks, even though the box claimed they'd already been done. I didn't anneal them, either, so I guess we'll see if the universe implodes when I take them to the range today for their first go-'round.

If you had a "close" chamber you'd have had fun chambering some new Starline 308s I loaded recently.



I ran into this once, only with loaded factory rounds. I have an old custom mauser stamped, ".257 REM" that's a Roberts. It wouldn't chamber 117 grain Remington factory loads. I was fairly panicked. New Remington brass worked fine, however, and even shoots well.

Thankfully, I've not run into it again. I guess they're all a sample of, "1".

How's that Starline brass? I'll likely never need more .308, but might ant to try their .243 stuff.

I see they've got 6.8 now. Can 6.5 Grendel be far behind?

Usually I'll run them through a FL die to round out the necks for even chamferring. The thing is; with very rare exceptions I'm not sizing anything but the neck. I don't even lube the cases because they aren't touching anything.


Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
