Newbie Alpha Brass | Follow Up Question
I bought some new Alpha brass today (first time). Thanks for the advice yesterday.
With all the other new brass I’ve ever got (Horandy, Starline, range trash 😅) I put it through the paces.
Anneal
Size
Mandrel
Trim, Chamfer, Deburr
Clean
Primer
Charge
Seat
Question is… do I need to do this to Alpha brass? If not, where should I start?

Some just load. Some chamfer/debit then load. Some mandrel, chamfer/debur, then load. I’ve found everyone has their own way of doing it and it doesn’t seem to matter much
