    Are primer pocket uniformers good or bad?

    The K & M 3 in 1 uniformer is a game changer. Quality tool. Really rate it. Love the end result. Joy to watch primers seated so well.

    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.

    Wet Tumbling / SS Pins

    The cure is to buy similar guage wire to standard SS pins[ bought if off TEMU]. Using side cutters cut 2lb pins at 1 1/2 x or 2x the length of standard pins. No stuck pins. Running hotish water with Armourall car wash and citric acid. They come out super shiny if you run them for 3 hours. Have...

    Warshing Brass

    Use a dehydrator to dry brass. Pins should not be a problem. Use a Lite FA. Quality kit. Use large 2 tablespoon of Armourall HD car wash and similar of Citric [ from the cooking isle]. Pins should not stick in cases. 2C. 3 hours washing they come out sparkling.

    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.

    Effing Redding dies

    This for picked up mil brass. Standard die for all brass without expander. We do a lot of 243. Same family as 308. Cant overstate value of annealing every time. Cheers.

    Effing Redding dies

    Got Redding dies and T7 press. Save yourself some grief. Anneal your brass every time. If 223 use a SB die, take out the expander and viola you will get bug holes. Go that trick partially off the dude Froggy. Love the SB die. Magic die.

    Excessive bullet seating force despite using mandrel expander

    Anneal all your brass. Throw away the expander. Froggy style. Best advice heard for a long time. Chamfer inside of neck helps as well.
