I always size new brass. It takes a lousy 15 min/100...so why not. That's 15 more minutes I get to relax in the shop. I've gotten new brass that has been dinged up/out of round, so for me, its...

i just checked my load data for the a 350gr...38.8gr of IMR4198 shouldn't be a problem. It's a fairly light load. Pressure should not be a problem with this load with the bullet seated 0.1" deeper....
