Re: Reloading Rifle Ammo
With a single stage I'm thinking that you do a run of deprime and resize then run bell casing (on pistol calibers), load powder then sink bullets then crimp. Each in batches and changing the machine with each step, is that correct? If so the progressive sounds a whole heap easier.

Re: Reloading Rifle Ammo
Cleaned my brass for years by putting them in a container that was filled with hot water, a couple drops of dawn dish soap and a pinch of lemushine. Let sit for 1/2 hour or so, agitate every so often. Dump into dime store colander and rinse. Drop into pan and set on furnace overnight or out in the sun until dry. Not jewelry looking but clean.
If your going to seat and crimp in one operation make a dummy round for future reference.
I do a bit of .223 on my 550 and seat separately, then crimp with the Lee factory crimp die in the last station.It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

Somewhere I heard that letting the lead go out to the septic system wasn't a good idea and it sounded logical to me. If I was on sewers I'd be all over that. OTOH, my other house is on sewers and I could take all my brass over there and do that.

Re: Reloading Rifle Ammo
Rifle doesn't typically get a bell flare, just the deprime/resize.
Rifle doesn't typically get a crimp, unless the application requires
My precision rifle brass is typically tumbled clean, lubed/deprime/resized, tumbled clean.
You can then store as is, prime and store, or just continue on.
Then powder trickle each shell into a loading try, and seat the bullet.
So basically just two steps on the press, easily enough to do in batches on a single stage.

Re: Reloading Rifle Ammo
Not sure whats happening. I'm posting pictures and believe 5 is the limit per post and they are being deleted until I lose the entire post.
That's just happened twice.
I'll try later.
When you inspect your cases, don't use cases when you see this.

I use a hunting license needle to clean my primer pockets and the point to remove media from the flash hole.

I use this Lee case trimming tool attached to my drill.

Continuing. Lucky that went through.
Ok. another post showed this. I use a deburring tool to trim the inside of the case neck and the chamfering side to take the exterior ridge off.

I also take a drill mounted brush to clean the inside of the case mouth.

Re: Reloading Rifle Ammo
Not sure why I was having a bitch of a time posting those pics but case prep is important.
A few additional items if you don't already have them.
