I just threw about 4 hours of brass prep down the toilet.

Working on my Rem 6x47. I had just finished the final step of brass prep when I lifted the tray to move over to where I had my primer setup, bumped the tray on the bench vise and all 36 cases went flying.



I had sized them with three different neck tensions, something I've never done before so it took me awhile, I was being as precise as I could.

12 - FL die with expander
12 - FL die, no expander with Sinclair mandrel
12 - FL die, no expander with K&M mandrel

I spent awhile trying to sort them by measuring the neck OD, but had very little success. The necks don't seem very consistent in their sizing with differences showing from the mouth to the junction of the shoulder. Part of the reason for this I think is because I tried to set the mandrels so they stopped short of the donut. I now think this may have been a waste of time?

Ugh, might be time for a drink.
