[QUOTE="woods, post: 277816, member: 6042"] Throw this into the mix. You can not FL resize new brass, period.... IOW, new brass is so much smaller than your die dimensions that the die will not size the case body and the shoulder is so far back that you should not be able to set the die so that it contacts the shoulder at all. The most you can do to a new case is to resize the neck. So, yes you are correct that some firing is necessary to fireform your case to your chamber before you can start dealing with these issues. Essentially if brass did not have springback then you could fire your case once and it would be the exact size of your chamber, however it would be hard to extract and remove from the chamber or the sizing die.
