    Last lot of Lapua Palma brass I did nothing except debur the inside end of the flash hole. And that was out of habit. The depths were all very uniform. It's another step I've eliminated from...

    Mate, this has been a topic on forums for years and years, and nowadays on YouTube. It never reaches a conclusive end. It has tended to swing more towards FLSing of recent years although I imagine...

    The latest W760 may not be the same as the older lots since it was combined to N414. I believe 760 was morthed into N414 not the other was round. There may now be differences old to new. At any rate...
