It seems a lot of us that have been reloading a good volume and doing it for some time have gravitated to deprime/prep in one cycle and to reload at another time. My issue is that the components (really primers) are more able to be used where I need them as my shooting changes rather than having to take down primed cases or reloaded ammo that I would not use for a good time to get primers to reuse. That said I keep what would amount to enough loaded ammo for a range trip made up ahead for each firearm I have leaving the balance as stored components. Also note that bulk components are resellable, more so than reloaded ammo at a greater price if the need arises in the future.
