1. Just check the dang case length to see if it needs trimmed despite what your read on the internet.
2. Be crystal-clear about which bolt your barrel takes. "SAAMI Spec" doesn't mean shit when it comes to bolt depth. Both .136 and .125 can fit "SAAMI Spec" cartridges as long as they are matched with the right chamber. Wilson barrels from JSE take .125.
3. Run Hornady resizing dies all the way to the shellholder, then press until you think you're going to break something. Or don't buy Hornady dies because you're going to spend an extra $30 on them anyways for the micro adjust seater just to get a consistent seating depth due to their trash rubber washer design.
4. Wilson case gauge doesn't mean dick. Try the first reload you assemble in your chamber before you spend an entire evening loading up rounds. Just keep the thing pointed in a safe direction when you do and don't forget there is a floating firing pin in there (thankfully I didn't learn this lesson the hard way). Your butt SHOULD pucker during this step.
