[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2958635, member: 2939"] I agree with only doing small lots at a time! Inside champhering is important in seating the bullet. NO copper scraping going in. I've heard all the debates on case length. My advise on trimming that less is better :) The longer the neck is the more you have holding the bullet concentric to the barrel. So i tend to keep my cases at the upper SAAMI length specs. Lee dies full length or neck are superior to little phoney decapping pins and pin holders like RCBS. I have High end precision dies for comp guns. Not required for every day use. I use a single stage for resizing and decapping. I did single stage for many years with balance and then electronic dump scales. I do love my RCBS powder dump knocker. I just weigh a dump periodically to make sure that the amount is correct. I also to primer pocket swaging (RCBS)on my single stage on range pickup brass unknown to me. Those bench hand case prep grinders nice. Some models have superior case holding. The electric multi head inside and outside champhering grinders speed up things. I still have my original hand inside and outside tool on my bench in case I missed some. :) [/QUOTE]
