[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3785189, member: 38840"] Short answer, yes, as it is when you are resizing, or “squishing” the brass back into spec when the “stretched” brass can be most noticed, for lack of a better way to explain it. That and the process of sizing the neck can also draw the neck out as well. I generally follow the process of: 1) gather spent brass by caliber 2) wet tumble the brass to knock off range gunk to keep dies clean and make spotting damaged cases easier 3) lube cases (if a caliber requiring lubing) 4) resize/deprime 5) wet tumble to remove lube and clean primer pockets 6) measure brass and sort by what needs trimmed, what needs primer pocket crimps removed, and what is ready to load 7) trim/deburr as necessary 8) sort by headstamp 9) prime case 10) powder charge case 11) press Projos 12) bag and label 13) load and launch 14) repeat [/QUOTE]
