Thanks Gents, this is fantastic advice and has put me at ease. A great example of the wealth of knowledge we have on this site!
Klem/SCJim, this is great info which is going into my knowledge bank. I think I'd come across that article in my searches but had worried that I was meant to meet that yield point. I know I'm not going to get heaps of loads out of this brass so will keep an eye on that tension v stretch differentiation which I hadn't realised existed
.
Nubi/Vascar that chamfering/FB point is great, I hadn't chamfered the brass yet as it was all within spec so hadn't needed to trim but now had planned to include that regardless. I'm not worried about the lands yet as I seem pretty far away so far despite my COAL. I'm using a Howa Mini action and had seated them right out at mag length with no indication that they are touching yet (was looking out for it when I was testing the chamber fit).
Greybuff, suggest you anneal with a good wheat pack in the microwave for a couple of minutes and then neck application for 15 mins.
Cheers
Paulie
