The question is always asked “What to do with new, unfired, 50 or 100 cases in a bag” The answer is always the same ‘full length size’, I don't, the new unfired cases are minimum length/full length sized, I would only be happier if cases were available for reloaders that know what to do with a case that is oversized, at one time I could acquire cylinder brass, a 35 Whelen case with with straight walls and 2.650” long, outside of cylinder brass there is the 280 Remington case for 30/06 chambers and forming dies to form cases for chambers that are shorter than the 30/06 case etc..
Back to mindlessly sizing a case to minimum length/full length size. Again, full length sizing is not necessary if the reloader knows the dimension of the chamber the cases are being sized for.
