Another question, i ran the decapping die with 100 cases but it was in the expander die, and not the sizer, so now i have 100 cases that are decapped, and just belled a hair at the mouth and a bullet just starts, so i tried a dummy to test. after seating the bullet, but no crimp, i could turn the bullet in the case, just in a circle, so my question is, do we have to size if its new brass, fired once in my gun,from a manufacturer,and my case ID is .358 and my bullet is .358, would it be ok, or do i have to resize all the brass, plus this is an old steel set, so i my as well buy a newer carbide or nitride set.
