How many just neck size new brass and how many FL new brass?

[coyotetrapper]

I just neck size new winchester brass load and fire and only FL or partial after loading gets harder. Just wondering what others do?

I always neck size new brass and then square it up on my RCBS case trimmer.

FL resize and trim to square necks.

 

[GooseHunter Jr]

FL then trim.

I usually FL new brass and then trim it to lenght. A pet peve of mine, just to get the round consistent and make sure the shoulders are all in the same spot for the first loading - probably unecisary as is most of what I do lol!

Full length size, then trim, then primer pocket uniform, then flash hole deburr, then VLD chamfer.

Neck Size then prep on an RCBS rotarty deal.

If ya wanna get technichal, I FL, tumble in corncob to get rid of any lube, then run it through the gauntlet prep center (RCBS: flash hole, outside neck, primer uniforer, inside VLD, burr brush).
Then sort by weight for working up loads (just to make sure there is only one variable at a time).

I started neck turning for my 22-250 because it seems to help with the bullet runout so in that case I necksize, turn necks, tumble to get rid of any metal shavings, FL, tumble again, then do the rest of the routine.

I am considering turning my 30 cal necks too???

Since new brass is normally on the small side, never had a new case that wouldn't fit a chamber, I neck size, chamfer and load.Rick.

 

[Ol` Joe]

New brass gets neck sized, then trimmed to square the mouths, uniform & deburr primer pockets and load.

Does anyone use the nosler brass? What would you do to these. I use regular remington for the .260 because the nosler are so high but I got a good deal on a couple boxes for the 30-06 and since I didn't have any yet. In my limited experience with them it looks like you could get away with just neck sizing and loading. They seem to be very consistant length.

I FL each and every time....

I use the Lee neck collet dies for everything I own except for my 300 rum and 416 Bee. That is because lee will not make these dies in these calibers.

This is what i do with new brass.
Expand necks with neck expanding die.
Trim to same length.
Turn the necks just enough to clean them up, more its a tight neck chamber.
Re cut the primer pockets.
De burr the inside flash hole.
Weight sort.
FL re size in a Redding Bushing Die.
Now is it worth it, i think so, i try to get everything out a barrel that i can.
O well, I'm retired an have plenty of time on my hands and you have to have something to do each day.
Besides, i couldn't sleep at night if i didn't do it that way and some of us old men have to have our naps. :wink:
