Your cartridge brass is the first step in the reloading process. You must remove carbon from the exterior of the case, inspect for damage and signs that indicate incipient separation. It is also a good idea to clean the primer pockets. It is also a good idea to check the length of the cases and chamfer/deburr the necks as needed. Before loading, the cases should then be resized. For rifle rounds, we recommend full-length resizing. The Basic Types
