I use Lapua brass whenever I can for my match rifles so don't bother with primer pockets, flash holes, etc.
With my Hornady brass I uniform flash holes after the first firing.

Thank you all for the replies.

Cat - Why do you fire first then uniform the flash holes as opposed to doing this step prior to a first fire?

I think my plan will be to neck size, uniform the flash holes and chamfer/deburr.

I am not a precision shooter, just trying to get the most accuracy I am able.
As well, always trying to learn new things and develop a best practice for myself.

Thanks again
