[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 708280, member: 6705"] Norma brass is usually quite soft and isn't prone to cracking, especially after only one firing. I'll have to disagree with your gunsmith. What he is is making you do is overwork your brass. You only need to re-size your brass enough to make it reliably fit the chamber. Anything more is reducing the life of your brass. Don't full length size unless that is the only way it will fit in the chamber. I have some 300wsm Norma brass that has over 10 firings and still going strong. [/QUOTE]
