[QUOTE="dig, post: 617378, member: 26939"] I would recommend case cleaning. This is inexpensive and simple using either stainless media or ultrasonic. I suggest 1) deprimming (Lee or Redding Decaping Die). 2) Cleaning in ultrasonic or stainless. [LIST] [*]Clean brass helps with visual inspections [*]Sizing dies will not get scratched with clean brass [*]Necks are cleaned (aiding in measuring and true neck thickness) [*]Primer pockets are spotless with stainless or ultrasonic (this helps) [*]Inside of cases are clean helping with volume and weight sorting [/LIST] I rarely neck turn, and have not noticed a difference unless the rifle is set up for neck turned brass. Concentricity is important, buy a good tool not the Hornady, Sinclair/NEC/H & H Industries are good. Set up your dies correctly, a rubber "O" ring helps with concentricity giving the die a little play to set into the threads, keep shell holder clean with stiff brush. To me the process starts with good clean brass that is consistent, I don't get as crazy about weight but throw out those way out say +/- 5 grains. Sorting is easy and simple and other great posts here mention systems. [/QUOTE]
