[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 394520, member: 5060"] Mike------NO NO NO-----a case that has been loaded and fired 5 times will hold the case differently than a new or once fired one. The more brass is work hardened the less “set” it will take when sized. So if eventually you will have to either anneal or use the next size down on the sizing bushings (is a pain tried it years ago). Have gotten to anneal a few cases lol and if the Lapua Brass was not so expensive and a pain to turn then I would just throw it away after 5 firings. Have a few bags I am going to take with me when I go see my buddy that has this machine that rotates with burners on each side of the case. Forgot the name of it @#$()@$%*(!@$!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
