[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2073083, member: 107258"] Yes sir, I have run into a some 7.62 that worked out better by following the 3-step process described by BHP9. I prefer to start by decapping and thoroughly cleaning in a sonic cleaner first though. It does get a bit tedious but if you also re-anneal the necks nd ream the flash holes between the trips through the regular and then small-based dies, your brass should last awhile and give you reasonably consistent performance. Of course it goes without saying that you'll need to trim as well, but I draw the line at turning necks on mil-spec brass. It can make it more usable in many hunting rifles, but I've never found civvy 308 brass so hard to come by that I would take this extra step. If you do you might as well weight-sort the brass too and that's hardly worth it - unless its true match-grade brass like the IMI Match. No point trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
