[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 2439462, member: 114381"] If the once fired range brass was fired from the same gun, or at least from different guns reamed with the same reamer - I can see how the dimensions you checked would be better than new brass prior to any prep. The issue with range brass is this is generally not the case. Also you never know if you’re going to get more than 1X or brass shot in a gun with excessive headspace which takes you down an eventual case head separation issue sooner. Also if you’re going through detailed preparation steps, I don’t see why you are amazed that you couldn’t get them all same. It just takes more work. Good luck with the brass. Let us know how those Federal primer pockets hold up. And for the record, I shoot all kinds of brass, but mostly Winchester, R&P, Hornady, Federal, Starline, and the occasional Nosler and Norma. Never Lapua or Peterson. My brass is only new if it came from a factory load I bought. Otherwise it’s once (or more) fired from somebody I bought them from, picked up at the range, or was given to me. About 5% of the time I get burned. (I.e. shot with excess headspace, trimmed way to short, size too much for my chamber, etc.) [/QUOTE]
