[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2218485, member: 116181"] I mandrel expand new necks to fix the bent mouths that inevitably happen in boxed brass, even Lapua. I use the LE Wilson new mandrels, which should result in an ID of 0.0015" under caliber on new brass: [URL unfurl="true"]https://lewilson.com/wilson-expanding-mandrel-die[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://ultimatereloader.com/2020/05/30/new-expanding-mandrel-die-from-l-e-wilson/[/URL] I also use the 21st Century set in 0.0005" increments for reloading cases, but I like the LE Wilson for new cases. [URL unfurl="true"]https://21stcenturyinnovation.com/buy-online/ols/products/caliber-specific-expander-mandrel[/URL] I also use Imperial dry neck lube on cases before I charge them. I've heard some people dunk bullets, I've been meaning to try that instead of dunking the case, not sure there's any benefit to lubing the outside of the neck like Redding mentions.
