[QUOTE="Deviant, post: 1662198, member: 106404"] Its much easier to trim all of your brass to the same length first so you dont have to guess on how far to turn. After trimming you just set your depth and go and they will all be consistent. If you dont FL size before doing this your shoulders may be vastly different in length (on new brass)which will affect your individual case lengths and make your trimming results inconsistent. Im not sure what is meant by FL sizing of the neck but if you have the neck turning mandrel you will need to make sure the bushing you use first shrinks the neck enough that it is slightly smaller than the mandrel size to allow it to work properly. Then after neck turning you can use either the propper expander mandrel or bushing to size the neck for proper tension. Then after you fire form your brass you will have nice concentric cases and you can measure them but likely will not need to trim them for a few firings although I do trim mine all to a consistent length every time because I am anal and my trimmer also chamfers and deburs the case mouths at the same time. There are a lot of ways to do this and Im not saying mine is perfect my resulting groups and consistency have been great doing it this way. [/QUOTE]
