Hi guys,
I bought some brass the other day and was talking to a guy at the shop and he says its important to use only brass that has been shot from your rifle, is this true??
No, that's B.S.!! What you do is screw your full-length die into your press only as far as it takes to resize once-fired cases down enough that you can close the bolt on your rifle without too much effort before loading up the cases.
The less you work a case, the longer it will last. Some brass fired in a different rifle may fully enter your rifle's chamber without a lot of heavy sizing, and some won't. Test it first, before getting too heavy-handed in the resizing department!!
