Just curious what some of our other reloaders do as far as case prep/loading procedures when you are looking for precise accuracy.

I personally start with a batch of cases (winchester usually), and:

FL size
Trim to uniform length
Debur and chamfer
Uniform flash holes after trimming so the depth of the cut is the same.
Uniform primer pocket with Sinclair uniforming tool in a drill (held by the vise)
Weigh each charge individually
Weight bullets into lots of 5/per and then keep those rounds together for later
Seat Bullet about halfway then rotate 180 degrees and seat fully*

For fired cases I:

Neck size
Trim to uniform length
Debur and chamfer
Clean primer pockets
Weigh each charge individually
Weight bullets into lots of 5/per and then keep those rounds together for later
Seat Bullet about halfway then rotate 180 degrees and seat fully*

*For now I am using a standard RCBS die but I think I will step up to the Redding comp die pretty soon.

I am not real sure if I should be re-trimming my once fired cases, since my factory R700 has so much of a jump to the rifling I could really use the extra brass out there so I can seat the bullet less for less of a jump. I am using 168gr SMK for now and I can consistantly get 1/4 MOA with my stock 700. So I am pretty happy with where I am at, but I am always up for learning something new.

Am I missing any steps that are going to be worth it in terms of the juice being worth the squeeze? Or am I doing anything NOT necessary?
