[QUOTE="wjm1000, post: 1724295, member: 4782"] One thing I noticed in this post is that no one mentioned the difference in the brass hardness. One or two post mentioned annealing to make all cases equal. But for those that don’t do it every time I’ve found there is a significant difference in the hardness of the brass from one piece to the next. I don’t care how you resize your cases the harder case will have more spring-back than a softer piece and have different neck tension. You can usually feel this when you seat the bullet. I made a taper gauge with a very shallow taper and separate my cases accordingly. All cases must be the same overall length before using the gauge. If you do the math you can measure in millionths of an inch. [/QUOTE]
