Sizing AR brass for a bolt gun

[targaflorio]

I have a bunch of brass fired from an AR-10. BHA factory 308.
Any tips on prepping the brass for a custom bolt gun?
Full length resize of course. Anybody try and give up?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be anything other then doing your standard brass prep routine. Like you said, FLS first, after cleaning, of course.

run them through a small base die, then reload as normal.

Depending on how much you need to bump the shoulder back, you might need to size them in two steps. I don't like squashing them any more than .004-.005 at a time, but that's just me I guess. I've picked up some range brass that was .011 longer than my bolt action chamber... that's an awful lot of material to move all at once
