[QUOTE="planetwaves, post: 1741811, member: 84697"] When I first started reloading back in the early 80s, I bought some Winchester brass for my then new 270 Win. I assumed it would have been prepped to be the same dimensions as they use on factory ammo, which worked fine in my rifle. So I didn't do any prep, and loaded up about 10 rounds. Got to the range, and they wouldn't chamber, but of course the factory ammo worked fine. So at home, I tried the unloaded cases, and they wouldn't chamber. So from then on, I FL resize and prep new brass. The exception being Nosler. The only new brass I have tried over the years are: that first batch of Winchester, then Hornady, and then Nosler. Of those, Nosler is prepped and can be loaded right out of the box for the fire forming step so it does not need to be resized or prepped for my rifles. But I would recommend always checking the dimensions and try chambering any brass before assuming you can load it without further prep. [/QUOTE]
