Re: Process question (order of operations)
Joshironshaft sez:
Whatever you buy, get one of the slick LED light strips that mounts under the press head and lights up your cases. So amazing for $30-ish.

Picked this up today:
Notice I did get the light strips as recommended. According to the receipt, they were $24.99
Thanks!

Re: Process question (order of operations)
The roller handle from inline fabrication is way better than the original. You'll see the difference if you load a couple hundred rounds at a time.
Another tip is put a lock washer on the bolt that holds down the shell plate. Otherwise it constantly backs off and causes problems.Any vote for a third party is a vote for a Democrat. You are the enemy.

Re: Process question (order of operations)
Life is too short to clean primer pockets. I gave up sorting cases by brand decades ago....No difference detected in accuracy or function. Why add another step to the process?
The first die on your press has a decapping pin....there is absolutely no reason to deprime first....again, why add an operation when the point of a progressive press is to streamline things?
If my cases are really dirty, I will batch clean a few hundred. If not, then they go into a handy container on the case loading side of the press (either a Square Deal B or a 550). Bullets are on the left. Before starting a session, I check the powder drop so as to be sure that it is dropping the correct charge. Then I load.

Re: Process question (order of operations)
I sort between military and commercial. For me it is more of a safety procedure. Military brass is thicker and your pressures will be higher using the same load in commercial. If you are near max in commercial brass you could be over max with the same load in Military Brass.

Re: Process question (order of operations)
Personally, i rarely use military brass. It is, however, easy enough to sort out as one puts the cases into the press.
I reload mostly .45 ACP target loads and max pressure issues are not a factor, so no sorting. For .223 Rem, i picked up a factory case of Winchester primed brass and am working my way through that....no sizing or priming. When I am done, then I will have a case of once fired brass to work through.
