Deburr & Chamfer Needed if I Don't Trim?

[Stangs55]

I bought some new brass initially...deburred/chamferred and loaded... Now that I've picked that brass back up, I've cleaned and FL resized it. However, I'm finding that my cartridge length is still good (about 0.010 less than max), so I do not plan to trim it.

Do I need to deburr and chamfer again even though the case has not been trimmed? Or am I still good since this was done previously?

Should only need case mouth prep after trimming. You should check case length not cartridge length after firings.

If your cleaning in a traditional tumbler you'll not need to rechamfer (unless you notice any copper shavings on the bullet when you seat). If you used the wet stainless media to clean you will need to rechamfer.

I'm wet tumbling, so I guess I need to do it again. Thank you.
