I'm loading high volumes of milspec brass on Dillon 650's. Mostly 5.56 & 7.62.
My Process:
Tumble to Clean Brass
FL Size and Trim (on 650 press)
Remove Primer Crimps (super swage)
Tumble a little more to remove lube and any brass shavings.
Now I'm ready to load. Only problem is there is media in the flash hole! I need something in station #1 to remove the media. Two options that I can think of would be either a decapping die or deck sizing die.
Decapping Die: These dies are not shaped to the deminsions of the brass, so I'm concerned the decapping pin may not align itself and could miss the flash hole. Dillon reccomends that that the cases are not seated fully (firmly) into the shell holder. Has anyone used this method? If so, did it work well?
Neck Sizing Die: I think this would remove media from the flash hole, but I don't want to overwork the case necks. There will be no lube used.
Any ideas? Thanks.
