[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1509927, member: 2736"] I stopped loading new brass as it came long ago and found that If I did all the case prep including turning/uniforming the necks, that when fired the first time they were near perfect and also shot very well for a first firing. Even when I am wildcatting a cartridge, I turn the necks on the parent case before resizing so the chamber can true them inside and out. If there is a difference in neck thickness, Turning the neck before it is fired prevents the chamber from off centering the inside of the neck/bullet. I use to think that the little nicks in the necks wouldn't hurt anything until i realized like Alex that I had an occasional flier and the way to eliminate this was to do a complete brass prep before loading the first time. When weight sorting brass, I sort to 1/2 grain and end up with 3 or 4 batches with most brands of brass. The lapua normally ends up with 2 or 3 batches and any case that is outside the different batches is rejected or used for COAL gauges for different bullets that I keep in my die set. I will even use super glue to fix the bullet in the case permanently. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
