[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1828729, member: 73596"] My procedure is this: Take once fired cases and push primer out with recapping die and trim all brass to Saami min. 2. Put the brass through a wet tumbler to clean it. 3. I anneal it using a plumber's torch. 4. I use a ball end micrometer to measure the neck wall thickness of the once fired brass. I'm looking for the thinnest part of the wall across a 10-15 case sampling. I then neck turn all the brass down to that minimum. I never turn to less than .013" though. I use the expander die prior to actually sizing. Sometimes I have to neck size them down, then use the expander for consistent results. 5. Then I use a Lee Neck Collet die to put neck tension back where it belongs. 6. Then I use a redding body die to bump shoulder back .001" 7. Then I chamfer and debur. 8. Prime the case 9. Charge the case 10. Seat bullet. [/QUOTE]
