Here's my procedure for reloading:
1. Tumble brass for 1-2 hours to clean them before resizing.
2. Lube, resize, deprime in press with die.
3. Tumble brass for 1-2 hours to remove lube.
4. Measure each case for length and trim, if needed.
5. Chamfer case mouths on RCBS Trim Mate Prep Center.
6. Pick out any walnut media in flash hole with an awl.
7. Remove military crimp, if needed.
8. Examine brass for defects, splits, etc.
9. Use RCBS Trim Mate Prep Center brush to clean primer pocket.
10. Prime brass.
11. Fill with powder.
12. Examine each case for under/over/no fill.
13. Place bullet on case and use seating die to seat.
14. Done!
So, am I too cautious in all my steps? Are these the same steps as others use? Does everyone measure each case length? Does everyone tumble the brass twice?
