[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 451713, member: 376"] The biggest 'problem' with virgin Lapua brass is that the necks need opened up... not so much due to dents/dings (those do happen, but I've never seen Lapua brass all snaggle-tooth lookin' like a certain other brand that comes in plastic baggies...) but because the neck size is way too small - even if you don't damage something (over pressure) the initial firing will be nothing like successive firings where the reloader exerts some control over the neck tension. Run them over a neck-turner mandrel, or through a collet die or a F/L die with the expander ball left in. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
