[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 948102, member: 40654"] In the process of setting up a 338L right now, bought a box of new Lapua Brass to prep and have ready once my rifle is together... long story short, as I always do with new brass, I ran this 338 stuff thru a Redding Bushing die to fix the out of round mouths prior to loading them.. BUT didn't catch the fact that my **** de-cap rod was bent and in-turn wound up with obviously bent necks in the cases put-through before realizing what was happening! I removed the expander ball altogether (afterward) and simply ran the remainder through the bushing alone... and then also (re-ran) all the ones that had bent necks in an attempt to get them back to a closer starightness Question here: Will fireforming that brass bring whatever run-out still left in the cases back to (or near) zero? This was a new die-set and I admit I goofed not checking the lousy rod right from the beginning, but it happened.. never made this particular mistake before so am curious if this will affect my brass now for the life of it, or just til fireforming?? Would really appreciate some input from guys who may have made a similar mistake* [/QUOTE]
