Re: New Lapua .308 win brass
Just run them over the expander and chamfer the mouths, done. The Lapua 308 brass I have when seating the bullets makes for a lot of neck tension, I dont know what a guy can do about that except shoot them and then do the neck sizing with the proper bushing, in the case of the lapua that would be a .334" bushing.

I use a .336 bushing also... I tried a .337 but the accuracy wasnt as good with less neck tension

I also tried the 336 bushing and am able to seat the bullets with my fingers, you think maybe the tension is a bit too low? yeah, I can pull them out with my fingers too. Actually, they slide in so easily they fall out by themselves. I dont know how you guys get by with the 336 bushing.

For my load, like most, just load and shoot right out of the box. After that, I then run them through a .337 bushing and blast away.

SUB, what do your necks measure with bullet seated? Im getting just shy of .339 in my Lapua brass. .336 bushing just does not work, you must have thinner walls in your lapua brass.
