New brass

[srjdsmith]

I have buckets of my own ‘picked up’ brass mixed with range pickups. For my first go-around with 10 mm I want to use new brass, so I bought Starline, since that’s what they had at Scheel’s (the Hornady brass was out of stock).

Do I need to prep brand new Starline brass? Size? Trim? Or just stuff the load?

I have Hornady 155 gr XTP bullets. I’m thinking 10.8 gr of HS-6 (but I also have Power Pistol).

Suggestions? Does new brass need to be ‘prepped’?

If it were mine, I would size but not trim. Never known pistol brass to need trimming, but sizing would ensure the rest of the process started on the right foot.

The OCD part of me says measure every case on new brass.
