[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2579273, member: 101791"] Presently I have about 500 280AI brass in Peterson. Crushed a couple of cases. in getting down the steps I needed to do to size the neck down. Thinking about getting another 500 Peterson 280AI brass for the 25 caliber set up. I cut my case all to the same length to start with. I turn the neck for thickness next. Case lot is the same. No donuts that way. Make two cuts for thickness. Not all at once. Using a Gen 3 for length and a 21st cty for thickness. I use two cutter set ups to due the thickness cuts. That way I don't have to change anything, and don't try and cut for thickness at one time. I do all the other work too. Volume, flash hole Primer pockets for depth. First firing with a reduced load and bullet against the lends. Already have a 2nd barrel on hand, and reamer if needed or when needed. I don't have it chamber yet. The other is I got the barrel in 32" lengths. Cut back to 30". that way I can rechamber the barrel, and cut the barrel as needed. I anneal after each firing of the cases before sizing FL and bumped. I set up and cut or check for case length each time also. Still getting new equipment for reloading. Been at it for about a year now doing a major upgrade of equipment. Now looking into setting up a 25/280AI rifle. I work towards getting or setting up consistence as possible. I may find other problems as I go. I set and started changing neck sizes about 32 years ago, and cutting necks for thickness about 26 years ago. Been reloading for 60 years now, and still learning. The other is once I set something for a length or thickness I don't change it. [/QUOTE]
