[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 2356689, member: 102083"] #1 good, you cannot measure fired case to the datum line with primer in the case accurately. #2 Good, dont over do it. #3 Bushing dies can be used with expander if there set up properly, and what I mean is bushing just sizes neck under so the mandrel just barely opens up neck to proper size and float the bushing. You can size your necks with just bushings if your necks are consistent or use mandrel to size. #4 i only use graphite lube on brand new case necks after that brush lightly and the carbon in neck is the best consistent lube there is, I never clean my cases. Wipe the outside and done. #5 i trim all new cases to exact same length after once fired to atleast .010 under max length then chamfer and deburr untill need trimming length again. 6@7 good #8 i use 80% all inline wilson dies made from my chamber reamers and some they sell for cartridges they produce. You can feel seating force seating bullets and I will sort one out if I feel a difference for sighters or fouling clean barrel. The other beauty is if your into really straight ammo it won't be the seaters fault if you have the appropriate stem, also doing seating depth tests at the range is a breeze load everything long and adjust at the bench no loading different seating depths and not working and having to pull apart later. If your just getting into reloading you can use a rubber mallet to get started its crude but works you just can't feel seating force. Keep your cases sorted by times fired if you dont shoulder bump will be all over the place. If you anneal keep it consistent when you do whether its 1,2 or 3 times. I do clean my primer pockets everytime I do not want carbon buildup and the anvil not seating at the bottom of the pocket. [/QUOTE]
