[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 271615, member: 4191"] My experience has been the more the case neck is worked down the greater the neck runouts. Especially with new brass that isn't held tightly in the reloading dies, because the virgin brass is purposely on the smallish size and allows for some additional slop in the dies. I expect you'll be in good shape after the initial fire-forming. I would anneal before I fired the brass in the chamber the first time. At least that's what I do. I like to soften up the work-hardened brass before slamming it out against the chamber walls. I've had some fire-formed brass split when the shoulders were blown out or forward to wildcat cases in the past. Never had a problem if I annealed the expanding portion of the brass first though. Good luck with your project. It sounds like a good one. [/QUOTE]
