Hi All,
I have a question. I currently reload .223 on a single stage RCBS press.
I do things in the following order:
- Tumble cases
- Lube each case with imperial sizing wax while putting case in press for next step
- Resize/deprime
- Trim each case to the "trim-to length" in the reloading manual
- Deburr case mouth
- Hand prime each case
- ...the rest...
My question is this. If I am using a progressive Dillon 550b (thinking of buying one), trimming each case after resizing/depriming is not really an option or doing so would really negate the benefits of a progressive press.
What do you folks do? Trim all cases to the "trim-to length" before starting the process? If you do this, do you get consistent enough growth in resizing so that your crimps are nice and consistent (your case lengths are all the same after resizing)?
Thanks,
