your steps for reloading
As a newbie to reloading as few others on here are I was wondering how you guys do it. Basically your process
here is mine
1. I tumble all my brass then sort by head stamp at which time I try and pull brass I deam not usable
2. I lay one of the blue shop towels (disposable type). On a cookie sheet coat it with dillion case lube spray and roll the cases on it to lube them and set them in the reloading trays to dry usually work about a hundred at a time. (rolling about 10 to 15 cases a time on cookie sheet)
3. Once I have 1-2 hundred lubed I then resize/de-prime I also take them straight to the trimmer resize 50 then trim 50 till all done.
4. Then I run them thru the ultrasonic cleaner to clean the lube off. Shake them out allow to dry. (at this point they go into containers for future use)
5. I grab a previous container that has had ample time to dry. and proceed with rest of case prep ( swag primer pocket if needed, clean primer pocket and chamfer case. and put them in reloading trays upside down
6. then hand prime putting them back in the trays upside down
7. Drop the charge taking an upside down case and as I fill them they go right side up. (working in 25-50 at a time as I don't want anything getting in case with the charge so I try to work quickly) If I am doing test rounds I right on the case with a sharpy the grain load and seat a bullet right away.
8. seat bullets (7-8) happen at same time really if doing large run I usally load drop charge in a tray full 50rnds seat bullet then on to next tray. once all are seated then on to 9.
9. crimp
10. start all over cleaning sizing die for next round.
