Processing new brass for competition

[broncman]

For the long range crowd, what do you do to process new brass for competition? Specifically how do you take say your 200 or so new pieces of brass and get them ready for use. Not talking about neck turning but since I bump my shoulders minimally to keep a tight chamber headspace, new brass really needs a few firings.

Do you shoot new brass in only say a club match? Do you trust new brass enough to just maybe neck size and shoot a competition.

Let me put it this way - at a recent Long Range Regional in Sacramento the match winner was a member of the Scottish National Rifle Team shooting factory manufactured ammunition (they were not allowed to bring ammunition with them) using large rifle primer Lapua brass and Sierra 2156 155s. That means not only new brass but completely unprepped as well.
I shot a combination of previously fired and new, prepped brass and did not see any difference at 1000 yards - I blew wind calls unilaterally across all brass usage!

I my 6 BR factory gun I size and debur it. Nothing else needed. I wildcat chambers I must fire form it prior to competition.

trim, clean the necks up, clean the pockets, size, find the jam seat and then shoot them with full load. (90%) only need 1 firing to blow the shoulder out to where I need it for the chamber.

I shoot new match brass in club days (after that its match brass only). If I get stuck and have to shoot it in a comp I use it at 500 and 800 and at a pinch 900.
