[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 1004355, member: 84845"] I made a long post last night including photos of my brass and I got a message that it needed moderator approval before it will be posted. So hopefully it will show up soon and not vanish into the depths of the internet. In the meantime... I did resize the new brass with a plain old RCBS FL resizing die prior to the first firing. Most of my reloading for rifles has been FL resizing. I do have the Redding S type bushing die, body die and competition seater for a .260 Rem but the rifle is new and thus far I have only neck sized new Lapua brass and haven't used the body die yet to bump the shoulder. I don't have any instruments to measure case expansion. I do have the Hornady comparator setup so I think I understand the concept. Any particular tools I should look at? Something like this?
