Reloading new brass
Does anyone reload new brass without resizing it? There is a note that comes with the brass from Grafs that states you should resize due to possibility of becoming distorted during shipping and handling. I am about to reload 50 new Prvi brass cases in 7.5x55 Swiss and as I resize them it seems to be unnecessary, but I guess it is good to be sure they are in specs?

I always resize brand new brass, better safe than sorry.

I would do it, and then just neck size after that.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have not really found any problems with this small batch of brass but it seems that because you might never know it is a good reloading habit. The time to realize there is a problem is not after you have a completed round.

Hello, Only a fool, would cross a street without looking both ways; just because, a sign said "walk". Reloading, is no place for faith. Play it safe...

Re: Reloading new brass
You are heat annealing the case necks before using that new brass right? This will greatly increase the life of the case.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Reloading new brass
These Prvi Brass cases are already annealed.

I have a neck size only die I would use on new brass. Too many times I have pulled out new brass and saw the neck was no longer perfectly round due to shipping.
