Bought 100 pieces of ADG. Do I need to tumble it before I start loading it?
I had hard seating primers in some 6.5CM Starline brass. Both with CCI200 and Remington 9 1/2. As best I could measure the primers were consistently the same size. I called Starline and they told me that the cases are extremely clean as shipped as are the primers. They suggested running them through my case cleaner with previously used media. This would impart a minuscule amount of lube in the primer pocket. I tried it on 10 cases and voila the primers seat fine now. So I now clean my new brass. I full length size it as well to ensure the necks are not deformed from packing and shipping. After the first firing I check neck thickness. Side note: My Starline brass has always come in EXACTLY the same length. The consistency is uncanny.Bought 100 pieces of ADG. Do I need to tumble it before I start loading it?
