I'm going to start reloading bulk rifle soon: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=662741
I will have to resize, trim, and process primer pockets before I even start. I think I've settled on just reaming the primer pockets. Works well for me on the occasional crimped 9mm brass that I find.
I considered the Dillon trimmer but it's pretty expensive, and I still have to chamfer and debur the case mouth. Still maybe not a bad investment if I'm going to trim every time, but if I buy the RCBS X-Die I only have to trim once, right?
Now I'm considering the RCBS Trim pro w/ 3-way cutter and a drill attached for power. I can resize then trim a large batch of brass once, and from then on I should be able to set up and load progressively in a single process from then on for the life of the brass, right? Or do I still need to wash or otherwise clean the lube off the cases after sizing? For pistol cases, I put them in a box, mist, shake, mist, and forget about it.
