Just wanted to ask those of you that reload 223 ammo on a Dillon 550, what is the reloading sequence you use. Just a little info, I'm not a new reloader. I have used a Rockchucker press for years to reload rifle ammo, and I have also used a progressive (Dillon Square Deal-B, and the 550B) for years just not for rifle ammo.
I know that you have to:
1. Clean the brass and inspect for bad cases
2. Deprime
3. Lube and then F/L resize the brass
4. Remove lube
5. Trim brass to correct length and deburr cases
6. Seat new primer
7. Charge brass with the correct amount of powder.
8. Seat new bullet
9. Crimp if needed
With straight wall pistol cases you can usually skip trimming the cases, and the lubing of the brass, especially with carbide dies. Maybe it's because I have reloading experience, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the skipping of the trimming the brass stage, right after the F/L resizing of the brass that has stopped me from using the Dillon 550B for reloading rifle ammo (specifically 223).
Any help, suggestions you can give are appreciated. Can someone give me his Dillon 550B reloading sequence? Thanks!
