[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2898585, member: 15054"] Yea I do it. PITA prepping brass. I am all about accuracy so I have tried many ways to cut corners and it just does not pay off. After primer crimps are removed. Decap and then pin tumble with my copper pins. Let dry then anneal the cases.. then brush the necks and then lube and FLS the cases. Minimal shoulder set back. Trim and then chamfer the mouths with VLD chamfer then brush one more time. Then measure the neck inside diameter.. if there is one out of spec it is set aside and will not be used 1/2 a thousandths is out of spec for me. Yes I am anal i suppose. During load work up I shot a 300 yard 3 shot group from my Savage Axis pencil barrel 223 that had 2 bullets in the same hole and 1 low to make the group measure .800" center to center at 300 yards. I went back another day and shot in windier conditions and got a 1.6" 3 shot from the same 300 yards.. 2 next to each other and 1 shot low to open the group. Top of the car was used for a rest.. with a front bag only.All FC cases and they are mixed cases.. different dates etc.. There may not be an accuracy improvement in the primer pocket as long as all primers get seated the same or close.. do not need one sticking up you know. I would say if your gun shoots 1.5-2" at 100 and that is the best it has then minimal case prep would work fine. [/QUOTE]
