    Yes you should be ok. As the brass work hardens it will loose its spring. Different brands could resist the die but no so much you would notice. As always when giving the shoulder a bump not the full treatment check some of the brass in the chamber to make sure the bolt closes without caming on the brass before you prime or seat bullets. However as with all reloading don't substitute the different brands of brass when loading the same powder charge.

    Cheers for the reply! Yeah will do, I only plan to use one type of head stamp for each calibre but have some scrap brass of each to help set up. Good point with the cases, I assume that it to ensure the head area of the case hasnt grown too much as I won't be resizing the entire way down the case?
