Learned something today!!

I always put a slip of paper in with my empties, indicating exactly which steps in the process have been completed, even if I don't think it will be that long before I continue with them. Too easy to get sidetracked by life and forget where I was. I also indicate how many times they've been reloaded and trimmed.

Me too, really comes in handy when you have lots of cases in lots of calibers laying around

I used the Lee Universal recapping die. At the range, ALL brass gets out in range bag.
I deprime everything at the same time and then polish. A spent primer or deprime is not resize.

I have a set of dies for .44 Mag and another for .44 Cowboy loads. A set for .357, a set for .357 Cowboy, a set for .38 Spl.

21 of 27 sets are RCBS. Any new dies will be RCBS, if it all possible.

Just my preference.

I have both borrowed and loaned dies. I don't really like doing either. But I don't want to buy a set of dies for a caliber that I don't have, so sometimes I a borrow a set for a one time deal. And when I borrow I feel obligated to loan. Fair is fair! The cost of the dies is secondary to me, I just don't want to store a bunch of dies that I don't need.

The first thing I do with borrowed dies is to clean them and then I readjust them for my press. And the first thing that I do when my dies are returned is to clean them. And I will usually loosen the lock rings to remind me that they need readjusted.
