twice fired .375H&H brass?
I tried putting some new brass through my .375H&H die after unsticking the case from it last night and found it went through with no trouble at all.

Then I tried a once fired case, went through with just a little more resistance.

Then the batch of cases I was trying to size till one got stuck and we have great difficulty putting them through the die.

These cases must have been fired twice at some stage, I also annealed them.

Is it normal for .375 brass to behave like this?

Express,

Do they need trimming?
I have heard that 375H&H brass is very prone to stretching?

I've just started to reload for my 375 and have found that the brass is much easier to work through the reloading process than my 6,5 Swede.

I was a bit worried that the bigger case would prove a hassle but not so, at least so far.

I use Remington and Norma brass and both work fine after 2-3 reloads. Stretching is not a problem.

You are lubing these cases aren't you? Sean
