I just bought a Redding Boss single stage press to start reloading my rifle cartridges. For pistols I use a Dillon Square Deal which has carbide dies. No lube required.
But for my rifle cartridges, I will have to lube the case exterior, inside and outside of the case neck (but not the shoulder, right?). Then after lubing the case, I place the case in the shellholder.
Then I physically pick up a primer to place it in the primer arm. I raise the shell, resizing and depriming. Then lower the shell to reprime.
Question. How do you pick up the primer and place it in the primer arm if your fingers are coated with case lube? Won't that contaminate the primer?
