[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1838165, member: 69192"] , I use Hornady brass, don't expect a whole lot out of it, however finding 35 Whelen and .358 Winchester brass is not an easy task to do. I started making .270 Ackley Improved brass, started out with Hornady because I wanted to learn fireforming and didn't want to spend a lot of money learning how to do it. Presently I anneal everything that I reload for, remove the expander and use a Sinclair mandrel die for neck tension. With this process I have had good results using Hornady brass. If I push the envelope with the loads the primer pockets will not last very long; three to four loadings. However for hunting I always use new brass or once-fired brass in the Whelen and the .358 Winchester, and the following season I use the new stuff to work loads and to practice with. [I][U]I would certainly suggest annealing your brass, right at the get-go[/U][/I], then use a Sinclair mandrel die to help with the necks splitting. [/QUOTE]
