    New Brass

    I recently bought some new Hornady brass. When I compare the neck size of the new brass to brass that I already fire-formed and full length sized, then the necks of the new brass is about 0.07mm tighter than the resized brass.

    Do you always run new brass through FL die before you use it for the first time?

    this is true. But don't even try to exclude yourself from the OCD gun nut club.
