[QUOTE="Oak_Leaf, post: 3000115, member: 128477"] I did 500x LC 7.62 brass. Assuming your looking at 1x fired brass, then you'll be trimming and resizing anyway. With LC, you'll have to add pocket swaging and checking flash holes like someone mentioned. That part will add a couple of hours. I think I had about 6-7 hours total using a lyman universal trimmer - yes, cranked by hand, ugh. I like to establish a spiritual connection with my brass. I found once I started shooting, the case capacity diff across years after fireforming was negligible. I found as much difference within years as across years. Quickload says the H2O capacity difference amounted to less than 0.5 gr powder charge compensation. My loads consistently shoot 1/2 moa at 100, and 1.2 moa at 600 out of a Savage 10 using N140 and 168's. Can't speak to case life vs new premium brass, but I've got 4,500 168's, so I'm pretty sure it'll make it through that if I anneal periodically. One last thing, I took some of the FF brass and made up some test loads to see how they would shoot. It shot 5 shots, 43.8-44.6 gr, into one fat ragged hole at 100 yd. I can only hope it will repeat that when I'm done FF'ing [/QUOTE]
