[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1353241"] It's easy and easier if you anneal. I anneal after every firing. Many say R-P brass doesn't last but I'm not a hot rod loader so I'm at 5. Truth that on the R-P brass it is the primer pockets that go. Other brass is "better" but at $1 per per shell cost/benefit is pretty good. After going through all this my process is simple. A series of expanders, going up ~.010 each pass. Anneal after 2 passes. The last pass to .339 inside diameter. Neck turn, just skim to smooth out the little bit of shoulder at the bottom of the neck. You are looking for .015 to .0155 neck thickness. Neck size and good to go. I use my Norma RUM brass for my 300 RUM Bench Rest but that rifle may be changing. [/QUOTE]
