[QUOTE="Vomact, post: 1030745, member: 85311"] Hi: New member of the forum. I used to shoot benchrest (6PPC) many years ago before starting a family forced me to settle down. Well, now one boy is in college and the other is in high Sschool. I convinced my better half that I needed a hobby (I was driving her crazy, Hee, Hee, Hee), so I went out and bought a Savage Model 12 LPV DBM in 22-250 with a 1 in 9 twist (I wanted to shoot the Berger 70 VLD's) anyway... I got a new RCBS press, the FL gold neck bushing die plus a set of my old favorites, the Wilson bushing dies and all the fixins. I purchased a box of Lapua brass (man that stuff is HARD) and several litters of Berger bullets. I have a slight problem: The case weights are very uniform however the neck lenghts and thicknesses are not. Should I full lenght size then trim to length and THEN run through the K&M mandrel expander, or just run 'em trough the mandrel and turn them the trim them? My becnhrest soul say's full length size, trimm THEN do the necks, however I can't ask for advice at K&M or RCBS (or Wilson or SInclair) as everybody is on holdiay until the 5th. Suggestions are appreciate Vomact [/QUOTE]
