I am just curious about how others go about re-loading. No specific caliber/cartridge, just in general, your order of case treatment from "empty" case until you have a freshly re-loaded round ready to go. I will list my order, and am open to hear critique.
1. de-cap using Lee Universal d-capping die, I brush primer pocket clean at this point, and....
2.toss them into my polisher (Frankford Arsenal vibratory), then sift and clean out flash holes...
3. run through appropriate sizing die (full length or otherwise, depending on victim)....
4.trim to length, I use LEE's length gage method, I adjust these to fit my needs but they work quite well....
5.size case, sometimes this can vary from full length to neck sizing only to some things more complicated.... (belling)...
5.prime....
6.charge with powder (hopefully a charge that is compatible with one of my powder measures)....
7.seat bullet, or boolit to correct OAL....
8.crimp, if needed
9.polish off with a semi-clean rag and visually inspect, before storing in appropriate box.....
10.fill out load manual, and load label for "new" box of ammo.....
Just curious to see if others do it close to the way I do it. As said before, I am open to critique to see if I can improve on anything, other people look through different eyes and may see something I don't. Thanks. JW
