recently purchased some new brass was wondering what steps some of you use on new brass. do any of you just load them and shoot them and then go through the normal steps for the second loading. thanks.
Depends. If its good brass like starline or Norma, I will load and seat. Crap brass like remington and winchester, where the neck requires sizing or it won't hold a bullet or dented up necks, or whatever, I FL size, then trim, then deburr.
What you might find is some pieces hold a bullet fine, and others won't.
