    resizing range pickup 5.56 brass

    Anneal, swage with Dillon,[if required],small base die and you are good to go. Annealing every time makes ALL brass effectively the same. Before commencing SSM all brass. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

    Cheaper alternative to lapua 223 brass???

    If some one covered your eyes and gave you Lapua and say PMC brass both annealed would you know the difference when you fired them without looking. Annealing is the voodoo to making a level playing field brass wise. 2C.

    Skip cleaning primer pockets and inside of necks

    By annealing every time. Chamfer the inside of the neck. No shaving when seating. Like liquid honey. Always clean with SSM. Primer pocket uniform each time and flashhole uniform once. Throw away your expander as it is redundant if you size after annealing. Perfect necks. 2C. Best.
