[QUOTE="britz, post: 302613, member: 7865"] Hello and welcome as well. As far as the factory brass question goes... no. the things you will gain from a once fired round (as long as it was fired in your rifle) is that it is now fireformed to your chamber. If you choose to neck size that is an advantage. Sometimes I have noticed slightly more runout in new brass prior to it being fired the first time in my 22-250. The reason it goes in your die so easily is that it is set down to factory SAAMI specs already where as your once fired ammo is bulged out to your chamber dimensions. You may wish to have your die set up so you are doing the minimum amount of resizing possible to help you gain some brass life. No need to push it back to to SAAMI specs if you are firing it in one particular rifle. You can find lots of information on this process often refered to as Partial full length resizing. [/QUOTE]
