Trying to "ramp up" the process of preparing a few thousand 223 brass. Tedious process to do it right. Mainly just want an ample amount SHTF ammo. Anyway, I de-cap/size some 300 cases at a time. I do not sort this brass by manufacturer and I do not sort 556 from 223. I DO use the RCBS swager for primer pockets and sort crimped from not crimped-then I swage.
The part slowing me down is trimming. Just purchased a Lyman case trimmer from user on here-(works well by the way!) BUT before I trim I sort acceptable length from too long. Trim length is 1.75" and max is 1.76" so I trim to 1.75" but let anything in between 1.75 and 1.755 go. An occasional 1.74" shows up-would .010" mess anything up other than crimp? My COAL is 2.26" using generic (Wolf) 55 gn FMJ as I try to get real close to rifling.
If anyone has a suggestion about speeding up trimming lemme know-pls and thx!
