The buyer should check case length. The RWS brass I bought was short. If this stuff is short, be sure and set the sizing die up with a case that is proper length (e.g. Hornady). Otherwise, the shoulder may get pushed back. This can cause head space issues with snap over on cartridges dropped in the chamber due to no belt on case and 404's gently sloping shoulder. I continue to use the brass after fire forming to correct shoulder, reset the sizing die with Hornady brass, and only neck size. Works fine. I know many on here will condemn me for only neck sizing DGR brass but it's okay as long as every loaded cartridge is test cycled through the rifle. Have yet to experience a reload hanging up. It's certainly possible my brass was from a bad run but I wouldn't feel right if I didn't pass along my experience. Quite possible this brass is all proper length or longer. Just be aware. Caliper all 404 cases. The cartridge's unique shape requires it.
