So I had recently moved into the .45acp arena from previously only reloading revolver ammo. The steps to get a quality product are quite a bit different as pistol ammo headspaces on case mouth.
The 3 easy steps with Lee dies for revolver:
1. Decap and resize (prime separately)
2. Flare case mouth w/ powder thru die
3. Seat and crimp w/ Lee fcd.
Now my pistol dies happen to be RCBS, here's the tricky part
1. Decap & flare (prime separately)
2. Seat and taper crimp. Missing the sizing step?!?
So am I to use sizing die 1st? After cleaning yet prior to decapping? Is this true for all pistol cartridge or just RCBS users? Thanks.
