Probably a stupid question (I could answer for myself by measuring brass) but I am at work right this minute.

Boomstick I always run new brass thru a FL resizing die. If for nothing else to make all of the necks round then I measure them and trim to min. length. Hope this helps Rich

Another vote for resizing new brass...makes sure it is round and gets the dents out of the necks and makes the case fit the trimmer pilot better....and I inspect the brass again as part of the resizing...good luck and good shooting-loading!

I always run new brass throught a full-length die the first time. After that, bottle-neck cases only get neck-sized, straight-walled cases get full-sized.
