[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1741468, member: 26535"] I don't and here is why. You can find a node with new brass but in most cartridges you can not find "the load". Typically once fired brass with be at higher velocity than new brass because new brass uses some of the energy to form the case. Typically you will need to back off anywhere from .2-.5 of more of a grain. On top of that most barrels speed up around 100-150 rounds and the load will typically need tweaked again. So why does all that matter? The uneven neck tension is not going to be the biggest part of your load being different than once fired. I have never had a problem finding a node with brass out of the box(I am assuming high quality brass) and adjusting and fine tuning the load with once fired. With cheap crappy brass with severely dinged up brass I will run it through an expander and size. I try to avoid this brass at all cost. [/QUOTE]
