[QUOTE="maninthemaze, post: 1181360, member: 87387"] Hello, I am wanting to step up my game when it comes to brass prep and reloading. I currently just full length size/Decap, clean in Stainless steel media, then prime, charge and insert bullets. Anyways, I have recently purchased the stuff needed to turn necks and have made an annealing machine. I feel I need to neck turn because of huge inconsistencies with measurements of fired rounds diameters. As far as annealing, I have loaded these same brass 3 times now and 7wsm brass isn't cheap or easy to aquire, so I want it to last as long as possible. Here's the steps I've currently planned out. Please critique my plans and offer any suggestions you might have. 1. Decap using Lee Universal decapping die 2. Clean brass using stainless steel media 3. Anneal brass 4. Full length size bumping shoulder. 001 -. 002 5. Trim to length, chamfer and debur necks 6. Expand necks for neck turning 7. Turn necks 8. Clean brass again using Stainless steel media and Dawn 9. Neck size only 10. Prime, charge and inert bullets I'm thinking I'd Decap and then clean, just to keep my full length dies clean. And I assume that I won't have to turn the necks on this batch of brass again. Once turned, they will stay the same thickness. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
