[QUOTE="epags, post: 2045742, member: 105138"] I am a newbe when it comes to using new un-fired brass. I have bit the bullet and just ordered and received 200 pieces of ADG new unfired brass in 7 mm Rem and have another lot of Lapua 243 brass coming. I have a number of questions: 1. Should I run new brass through a sizer (ADG states that neck damage might have occurred in handling/shipping)? 2. De-bur the flash hole? (They (ADG) all look like that they have been deburred already) (I did debur the inside and outside of the necks.) 3. Should the 7 mm Rem be fire-formed (using a starting load). I was planning to use Reloader 22, however the min. starting loads in the manuals vary from about 57 grains to 64 grains (and maximum from 66.2 to 68). I know there is a danger in using too low of a powder charge. If I use Alliant's guidance (64 starting to 68 max) the velocity is only 2,919 to 3,136 FPS which doesn't look like much of a starting load. Comments/suggestions? Thanks in advance for helping since I have always used re-cycled brass and don't want to shorten the life on brass that costs almost $2/piece. LOL [/QUOTE]
