[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2160676, member: 69192"] I treat every piece of new brass like it was a piece of range brass that I took out of the brass bucket at the range. For me that means full length resizing without the ball resizer in the die, then annealing, then neck size with a mandrel die, trim to length, debur the inside and outside of the case mouth, debur the flash hole inside of the casing and ream out the primer pocket. Depending on neck thickness I will skim turn the necks, however generally not on the first reload. I've never had the luxury of reloading use Lapua brass so not certain about how close it is, even though some reloaders will say that it is not necessary to do much of anything with Lapus brass I would still use the same process that I described above. If I am fire forming my brass (.270 Ackley Improved), I will do a second anneal after I fire form the case. [/QUOTE]
