The first thing I did to new brass was deburr the flash hole. One time operation.
Yep, started reloading a few years ago as the Obiden Administration told the Lake City Facility they will no longer be making ammunition getting into civilian hands. Despite the fact it was only doing it between contracts for manufacturers like Winchester and Hornady to keep the workers and equipment running. Decided how hard can it be as knowing some pistol reloaders back in the day, it wasn't rocket science...
Well, I was wrong it is "rocket science" for a victim of OCD, as the shelves filled with equipment and powders, primers and bullets and such. Neck tension, seating depth for the jump, proper primer for the 160+ powders, the weight of the case and the effect on volume, trimming, annealing before sizing. Progressive reloader or not, dry tumblers ultrasonic cleaners, wet tumblers, proper measures...
In the end a good way to educate oneself over what it takes to make that arrow fly true. Then there is the archer.
