I was under the understanding a Euro was about $2.00 CDN, in that the Euro was about the same as a pound sterling. Hope I'm terribly wrong. I strongly disagree with that price or 140 Euro as being acceptable.

Even if the euro was was on par (same)as the Canadian dollar, $140.00 for 100 cases is about $140.00 too much for once fired brass (range pickup) and $40.00 too much for brand new .30/06 brass as 5 boxes of .30/06 factory ammo or $80.00 too much for 2 bags of 50ea .30/06 unprimed brass.

Hint - with FL dies, use the seater die first - bullet seating stem removed, then the FL die, with the primer punch and expander button removed. They can then be trimmed and reamed or turned as necessary.

I would trim to length first, a couple thousandths long before forming the .06 or 7mmx64 cases. Then, using the dies as noted, I'd make the shoulder a bit proud (long)with the seater die. Then, when using the FL die, shove the shoulder back only until the case will chamber- tight bolt closure, normally referred to as a 'crush' fit. That way, the brass will fit perfectly in the chamber and will not have to stretch at the web when it is fire formed. Use regular loads for fire forming, not light loads. The brass will need very little 'forming' to the rifle's chamber dimensions, thus normal loads can be used.
