[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1222675, member: 2736"] If the brass doesn't need trimming to safely fire it, wait until you fire it the first time and then trim all brass to a uniform length. I do recommend however that all new brass be turned true (Just enough to clean it up and make the neck thickness uniform before firing it and risking off setting the neck. After turning the necks and firing the first time your cases should be very consistent dimensionally except for the case length and this is a good time to true everything up. I used to totally prep my brass before I fired it the first time. but after checking it after firing, I found differences in length especially in wildcats, so I now trim after the first firing to get the best results and prevent excessive trimming. PS: After firing the first time and trimming the case to consistent lengths, It is a good time to weight sort if you want to. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
