Thanks for the replies. My post is just asking for opinions. There is no problem. I removed the indexing rod right off the bat. I prefer to use the press in single stage mode. The process I use is tumbling them in a wet tumbler, drying, decapping/resizing, cleaning primer pockets with a Dremel straight tipped wire brush, prime, powder drop and bell each case, put each case in a reloading tray as I go, visually inspect powder level in each case, seat bullet, and crimp. By decapping before tumbling in a stand alone process I can tumble, dry and begin my loading process. Although I may still hit the primer pockets with the Dremel. It just seems to me that decapping with a universal decapping die before tumbling may increase the life of the decapping/resizer die I keep in the turret. As you can tell by my process I am not in a hurry whatsoever. To some cleaning the primer pockets or tumbling at all is not necessary and I probably agree but I am retired and have plenty of time (I hope) so I do it. To each his own. Thanks for bringing the shell holder up ArchAngelCD. I just noticed the Reloader Press comes with a universal shell holder. I am leaning towards the second option though. +1 on that 1SOW.
