New Brass - do you full length size it?
Hi Guys
Just looking for a little advice on this one. I haven't loaded brand new brass before - have always bought loaded ammo then reloaded. But I have a plastic bag of 100 brand new Norma 6.5 x 55 brass and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to full length resize it to iron out any lumps and bumps it might have got along the way,*or if it's good to just load it up and go.
thanks very much in advance
Will

Thats normal with some batches of Norma brass these days
Just lube the primer pocket with redding sizing lube on a cotton ear bud and the primers are far easier to seat to full depth.
Do not bully/force them in, that mindset should be avoided with anything to do with reloading, gently gently protects your face, and eyes, and ears, and fingers..............
