Buying components.
They should be issued to us buy the goverment, instead of burning them or blowing them up.

BluesBear, the dies I referred to was a set of the older non-carbide steel dies.

The worst day reloading is still better than the best day at work

removing the primer crimp on mil-surp brass. I did 600 rounds out of 1,000 of Lake City .38 Spl brass I bought on e-bay. It's a major pain in the a$$....
Second would be reloading on a single stage....(I just ordered a progressive after a couple of years on a single)

Removing your thumb-index to late after putting in the bullet in a progressive.

I guess that I'm just as anally retentive as you, because this is the part that I like least too. And I also do it, even for the handgun cases...
You go through a lot of paper towels, and wear the skin off your fingers...
But, after having admitted to being so anally retentive, I also should mention that my ammo always works... And it's pretty too.

Medium dust
Ftierson--what medium are you using? My corncob medium (no polishing compound or any other such) leaves no dust on the cases that I can find. The static electricity that makes the granules stick to the tumbler, and avoid the removing scoop is the most annoying thing about it but this is a really minor hindrance. A very few granules come out of the cases when I resize/decap them, but I cannot imagine that a few bits of corncob would damage a steel die, so I just ignore this until cleanup time on the loading bench. Such dust as there is, stays in the tumbler, and I wipe it out with a dry rag along with the last of the corncob that persistently avoids the scoop. Nothing is actually stuck to the brass cases.

Smokey,
I use Midway corn media with the Midway polishing solution.
Admittedly, there isn't much residue on the cases, but there's a little.
Remember, I also admitted to being pretty anally retentive, so I still wipe the cases. I doubt that it's necessary, but I still do it...
Thanks for asking...
