I'll be getting a progressive press in the next few weeks and had a question that I really couldnt seem to find an answer for.
I've done about 95% pistol loading until now, and maybe 100rds of 7.5 Swiss and 200 .223 on a RockChucker. After sizing, I'd always stick the cases in one of those Lee hand trimmers to see if they needed trimming. My bro has a Mini-14, so he shoots it some now, and I plan to get some form of .223 because next to 9mm, it is my #1 range pickup, so I'd like to start doing it on the progressive.
My question is, do you have to still trim the brass every time it is sized, or do normal rifle loads not normally need resizing? It just seems like a progressive wouldnt be any faster if you had to pull every case out after it's sized to trim it. How do you guys do it?
