[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1844918, member: 2736"] My case prep procedure requires full length the first time because after sizing, it gets the Outside dimensions as close to the same as possible for the other steps I take for case prep. This can be done after fire forming. but if there are differences that need correcting then the case is fired once more to reach a uniform state. I full length size, trim to uniform length, turn the necks to uniform thickness, and uniform primer pockets. next I measure volume or weight sort to tell me the case volume. this sounds like a lot of steps before loading, but it gives me the best chance for quality fire formed cases with only one firing. If The chamber is good, the cases come out with .000 runout before loading And is an early aid to working up loads without wearing out the cases before an accurate load is found. Also by starting with concentric brass cases, you can spot a problem area in your loading process by checking each step and will end up with better quality loads. Fire forming without case prep only adds more firings to the cases in my experience. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
