Extremely well laid out, thanks ! I personally love converting brass, it's my quality time for myself !

4) first stage in neck sizing
5) Final stage of neck sizing
6) I used a magic marker and trimmed to an intermediate length, then cleaned up the neck with a 308 pin
7) After final trimming, case is neck turned, chamfered/deburred, and polished with a fine Scotch pad with Flitz
8) After fire forming, full length sized, trimmed, and polished ... its all set for an actual load!!!

I do these in batches of 20-25 and now have 100+ for shooting lead bullets. A very easy day at the range with open sights and I don't cry if I lose a case to the brass-rats of the range.

My 99 is not tapped for a scope, so I enjoy shooting it as it is with the Lyman tang sight. (although I switch to Marbles)
