[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2218518, member: 10755"] My brass prep on new cases for a new barrel is this: Run all cases through Neck only die or mandrel to get the IF I want. Prep all flash holes with CORRECT size drill bit. Lube all necks with powdered graphite. I then do seating depth tests, primer/powder combo tests and once all that is done, I should have about 50 cases ready to start OCW testing. If need be, I will pick a middle powder and load a middle load to fire form all 200 cases with a cheap bullet. But, I find if I load a batch, culling any that shoot out of the norm, I will have 100 cases that are exactly the same for my comp guns. After all this, they then get trimmed, annealed every firing and bumped with modified FL dies or a combination of Body die, mandrel or FL die and mandrel. I don’t touch primer pockets, I adjust HOW the primer is seated, both depth and crush. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
