For .223, I...
decap, on press
wet tumble, off press
size, on press
trim, ream, chamfer, debur, off press
prime, on press
powder charge, off press
seat bullet, on press
I've considered going to a progressive of some sort for 9mm, but would it be applicable for .223 as well with the steps I'm using? Or a turret? I use quick change bushings, so there doesn't seem like there'd be a huge time savings there. If anything, I was thinking of getting the APP for decapping. Maybe sizing, even though Lee doesn't recommend it, their own YT channel has a video of them doing it on the APP. I'm kind of torn because I'm also thinking of getting a hand or bench primer, which would move me even further from doing sequential steps on a progressive. Just don't know if I want to tumble without decapping first, or size dirty bottleneck brass while decapping. The vast majority of my brass consists of outdoor range pickups.
I just ordered a Giraud tri way trimmer to boot.
