Each case was visually inspected and then tumbled. After tumbling I felt the inside of each case down around the head for any signs of a ridge. I then inspected the case necks for any signs of cracks or defects; I then inspected the bodies, heads, and primer pockets. They are now ready for stage 2.

Oh yea I love this, takes all this time for a brief bang but the gratification knowing I built the bang.

Once you get used to this you won't have to look for internal damage until about the 10th time you load them, unless you have a very large chamber. If you neck only size you really don't have to look.

Yes I am keeping them seperate now so I can only neck size future reloadings. Before I would just dump them in together.
