You can use flitz metal polish available at most hardware stores too.

I have Flitz. Not to abrasive? Compared to that Iosso.

I use both. Whichever i have. Both do the same thing

Both

Would annealing just once between forming and FL still be beneficial?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Yes

 

[deadduck357]

Yes

Thanks, that would save a step.

I form cases, I have cases I form for wildcats that shorten .045" from beginning to end, I also have cases that shorten .030" when I neck them up, example: the 35 Whelen from 30/06 cases and the 338/06 when necked up from 30/06 cases. And then there is something reloaders are not allowed to talk about and that is donuts. I get donuts from some of my efforts when forming and firing wildcats. I have had donuts that were so bad the hole in the neck closed off when went from 30/06 to 243, problem, I was going for a 22 caliber wildcat that needed a long case body from the shoulder of the case to the case head. Lucky for me I have a neck reamer die and reamer for the 243.

Cases get shorter when fired, correction: My cases get shorter when fired because I am the fan of reducing all that case travel, other reloaders have firing pins that drive their cases forward until the shoulder of the case collides with the shoulder of the chamber. When that happens the case stretches between the case head and case body and that is caused by bad habits.

Iosso on a plastic brush spun around in there will keep it at bay

Gunsmith had some, worked like a charm. Thanks again.

You completely lost me.

You are not the one that is lost. Guffey suffers with excessive head space.
