After their earlier rundown on cleaning spent brass cartridge cases, Brownells Gun Techs™ Steve and Caleb now show us how to resize those cases. When you fire a round, the case becomes slightly too large. The sizing die returns it to its original, pre-fired dimensions so it'll fit in the chamber and also pops out the spent primer ("decapping").

There are several types of sizing methods, but the guys stick to full-length sizing in this video. Other words of wisdom: a warning about lubrication, how to play with your neck tension, and an explanation of "small base" sizing dies. Should you decap BEFORE or after you clean the cases? They cover that, too.

There's a lot of ground to cover, so let's dive in!
