Always deburr the flash holes, always. And run the neck sizer thro them cuz invariably there’s some that have dents and oblongs in the necks. I weigh them all too, especially with cheap brass. In addition to what’s been said above. Sometimes there’s a huge variance in min to max weight. Which translates to a big diff in case capacity. Federal and Winchester brass are the worst for this. And Hornady is a close second or third. My opinion, but I think that the brass we reloaders get is their seconds, cuz their factory brass that’s been factory loaded doesn’t have that kind of variable. I’ve checked. If you can get Federal blue box ammo brass, I’ve found it to be very good. Part of the reason why it shoots so good in so many different guns.
