[QUOTE="timberelk, post: 1400657, member: 100952"] Finally got home to do this and some interesting things happened. First I realized two new never fired Hornady brass then measured out on the neck comparator to be around .328. I ran them once through the FL (had a very small amount of calming action) and it returned them to both to approx. 326. Running it through the FL made the over brass length increase by about .003 but was still in spec so I did not trim I then took a once fired case from my chamber and did the same thing and it actually mad the should come out further to about .335. I trimmed the case because it grew about .008” and returned it back to min cartridge length 2.025”. I then ran it through the FL again and it brought it close to the original measurement which was about .329”. I ran it through a third time and it returned it to about .326. I then tried another piece of once fired in my chamber and the brass length got about .009” longer and it took the should from .328 to .327. Then I trimmed the case and ran it through the FL again and it then took it to .326 Does running it through the FL multiple times kill the potential brass life? [/QUOTE]
