[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2089918, member: 10755"] My prep on new brass is the same as once fired EXCEPT I do NOT FL size the brass. I run the brass through a neck sizer, then a mandrel to get the desired neck size I want, then I do flash holes, prime and load. I do not trim until brass is stable and holding it’s spring back consistently. I also anneal after every FIRING before sizing. I also do flash holes every few firings again just to get any carbon out. I run my brass necks long in my comp guns, within .010” of the end of the chamber and trim when it is .005” from that length. I have never seen a new case touched by a FL die other than on the neck, so see no need to FL size or body size it. The 6.5 PRC may be an exception if the die problem described is an issue. Cheers.
