[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1803123, member: 92702"] THIS... AND to back up what he said, if you don't skim turn and square up the necks to true them, I don't feel either method has any effect on accuracy whatsoever as long as they are sized properly. In fact, there is a faction that believes if you don't prep your brass you are actually better off using small base dies and completely sizing cases back to nearly new factory dimensions. They feel this allows the case to self align in the chamber somewhat, like a factory round. For our purposes (a long range precision rifle) I feel very strongly every round of brass should be fully prepped and sorted. Great loads cannot be either consistent, or duplicated without this step. Leave this step out and you will always be chasing your tail for accuracy. You can find a load that shoots the magic 1/4" group. Go home and load up a bunch and the next group just may be 1-1/4". Doesn't take long to turn, trim and chamfur the necks, ream the flash holes and primer pockets on 100 cases. Doesn't take long to sort them by weight either. I don't sort them until they have been fully prepped. [/QUOTE]
