So, I was offered about 120 Lake City match 68 cases, for free, only down side the case mouths are badly abused....
So after looking at the cases for a bit, I tried one in my full leanth resized, it worked, but was very hard to reform, so after a cup of coffee, I had an idea, and out to my lathe I went, 1 1/28 bolt, one 5/16 shoulder bolt, and I started to spin up a neck sizer button with a taper on the end....I did turn the button a little undersize,so I can run them back threw the die and resize after I "presize" and get the case mouths round again

So a little lube , and presto, works perfectly!
After "presize" I deburred the case mouths, resized with factory resizer button, and the bolt on my 03a3 closes just perfectly on the brass!
