[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 2066761, member: 33751"] When I get a hold of LC 308 brass I do the following. Tumble the hell out of it. It's dirtier inside, than you think. Anneal it prior to re-sizing. Lube the hell out of it, especially inside the case neck. Ensure your dies are clean inside, no grit, old lube. I use brake cleaner and scrub it clean after disassembly. I've never used a small based sizing die. I reload for M1A, and have never needed to use one. LC brass is thicker, resulting in smaller case capacity, work up loads accordingly. I have had to run the ram twice, back to back, to get the case to resize and fit into a gauge. I use a 45 degree chamfer tool in my dewalt drill to remove primer pocket crimp. [/QUOTE]
