[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2421570, member: 30902"] Even with quality brass some of it can get dinged up in packaging and shipping. Best to resize everything just like you would used brass, inspect the necks for thick/thin areas, dents and dings or notches around the lip, then uniform it all for length and chamfer. If you're just starting out get the Lee case sizing kit and base. You can attach it to a drill and it all runs really fast. [URL unfurl="true"]https://leeprecision.com/case-conditioning-tools/case-trimming-tools/[/URL] While I have them on the drill I would also go ahead and hit them lightly with the RCBS chamfering and deburring tool. Note, don't get carried away chamfering and deburring or you end up with a sharp edge instead of two clean edges. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rcbs.com/case-processing/chamfer/deburring-tool-.17-.60/355442.html[/URL] As I started losing dexterity in my hands I switched over to the Hornady Power All in One Case Prep Station but if you aren't loading dozens or hundreds at a time you don't need to spend that kind of money getting setup. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hornady.com/reloading/case-care/case-prep-tools[/URL] Yes you can get away with doing zero prep with quality new brass but sooner or later you'll get bit. [/QUOTE]
