[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1844863, member: 107384"] I would assume that whoever/whomever manufactured the brass was going to load ammo with it therefore it shouldn't need to be re-sized. I would however make sure that it chambers in MY rifle before doing anything. Then I might deburr the flash holes and chamfer the case mouths if needed. After firing if the fired case still chambers in MY rifle I would neck size only using a bushing die or the FL die appropriately adjusted or a neck sizing die. My process is to first decap the primers with a decapper die. Next I'd resize either neck or FL as needed with NO expander ball. Lastly I'd expand the neck with a mandrel. For say a .264 there are commonly available .262 and .263 mandrels. I prefer the carbide version. [/QUOTE]
