For those that separate the resizing from loading in your turret/progressive process, which press make/ model are you using?
Since I like to wet tumble deprimed cases for pistol my first pass is on my LNL progressive
1. Deprime/resize
2 flare
3-5 are empty
For 223 I like to use my old 3 hole lee Turret
1 Universal deprime (crimped primers sometimes cna be a pain to get out)
2 Size
3 empty
Since I rotate the turret by hand I just go back and forth between 1 and 2.
(been thinking about moving this to the LNL but haven't got around to it yet)
I do a quick 1/2 pass through the wet tumbler before deprimeing.
After the brass is deprimed I do another 1 hout pass in the tumbler.
Let dry, prime while watching TV.
Then when I go to load pistol on the LNL
1 Powder drop Hornady measure or Lee Autodrum depending,
2 RCBS Lockout die (pistol), Hornady Lockout die pistol(I lee the RCBD set for my 9mm match load), Hornady Powder cop (rifle)
3 Bullet feeder-tube type 9mm and .45, hand feed others
4 Seat (or seat crimp if I am not using the Lee FCD but most of the time I use it)
5 Lee FCD
It may not shoot any better but I like the nice clean brass, it makes me
Priming time is not really wasted since I am wasting time watching the tube anyways, I also inspect brass here. (get rid of those
9mm cases with the internal ledge)
I like feeding the press primed brass one less thing to worry about when loading.
Yes I have done it all in pass on the LNL and don't have any problems with it but then I have to leave out something,
Lockout die or the bullet feeder or the FCD (I don't normally do it this way but of the three I left out the bullet feeder...and I thought 5 stations was enough...)
