I am getting ready to load 223/5.56 ammo for the first time. Have been doing a lot of reading, watched a bunch of YouTube videos. I have the dies, the primers, the once-fired brass, the bullets, the powder. I've got the Dillon super-swager thingie to get the military crimp out of the primer pockets and I've got the Dillon press-mounted trimmer.
My question is this: If I process my brass with that trimmer, what happens if I just go from there to removing the primer crimp and then reloading the brass, in other words, if I don't chamfer and debur?
If you guys convince me that I have to chamfer and debur, I'll probably buy either the Lyman case prep center, or the new Frankford Arsenal case prep machine. But can I get away without doing those steps?
The ammo I'm going to make is for range practice, not competition, not personal defense, not fighting wars, etc. Just range target shooting (without pressure of competition).
