i just picked up a bag of winchester unfired 22-250 cases and was wondering if i should be cleaning them or generaly preparing them in any way. they all seem clean and non seem to need trimming. just wondering what you guys do with new unfired brass.

Just run them part way into your die to true the roundness of the case mouths...chamfer....uniform flash holes (if you do that).... prime and away you go.

I run all new brass through my neck die to make sure that the necks are round, and that there are no dents in the case mouth. Then I chamfer the case mouth, and prime the cases.
