[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1808172, member: 105926"] My process for new brass is similar to Orange Dust except I don’t turn necks (unless I need to). I start with higher quality brass (e.g., Nosler, Norma, ADG, Lapua, etc.) and have found little to no benefit in accuracy and velocity with neck turning, so I don’t take the time to do it. This is just my experience with the rifles I have loaded for, and it certainly won’t hurt you to turn necks and take as many variables out as possible. That said here is my procedure with new brass: 1. Uniform flash holes and primer pockets 2. Run them through a neck expanding mandrel to set bullet tension at .001” 3. Debur inside and outside of necks 4.Take/record brass measurements 5. Load That is generally it. I check length and trim if necessary but usually never need to on new brass. After the brass is fire-formed I always clean the brass,bump the shoulder .002”, set neck tension at .001-.002, trim to the same length, clean up necks, clean again to remove size wax/lube, and weight sort.
