Painless load development (mine)

[Moose83]

Starting with Virgin brass:

Chamfer inside/outside with cheap tool
Brush inside neck
Molly inside neck
Mandrel

Once it’s fired:
De-prime
Henderson trim everything to same length (I only do this once after the first firing, and never again)
Lube and FL size
Either wipe lube or tumble in media
Brush neck
Molly neck
Mandrel


I tried eliminating the mandrel portion, but then I just had to keep testing bushings to get the right ID of the case. It got annoying and brass OD’s vary quite a bit, especially from lot to lot. So I just use a bushing that takes them .003 under or so, and just mandrel them back open.

Which mandrel do you use and which Moly process?

Which mandrel do you use and which Moly process?

I use 21st century mandrels and moly. Good stuff
