    lapua vs nosler custom cases

    Re: lapua vs nosler custom cases With Lapua...do you have to size them at all before loading or chamfer the mouth? I've never bought them before but might lean that way if theres no inital brass prep which would be really nice.

    Did I just ruin my brass?

    Re: Did I just ruin my brass? I'm using the sinclair model and is non adjustable. I would really hope that they have it right which I assume they do. I think what happened was that I would take a piece of brass, press it on there, dump and repeat sometimes several times. I wasn't really...

    Did I just ruin my brass?

    Re: Did I just ruin my brass? Oh sorry its Winchester brand new. Seems like I had to cut quite a bit and maybe I got the cutter tilted to where it cut into the side of the pocket (to create the easily seated ones). No idea why reaming them out would make it more difficult to seat.
