[QUOTE="TX Badger, post: 1742680, member: 95235"] So much good information here, I'll add a couple small variations that I haven't seen listed that work for me. FYI, I bought an RCBS Supreme kit and still use most of the pieces. Here's my process -Decap with a decapping die -Sonic clean in cleaning solution (1st deviation from what I have seen listed) this gets most of the carbon out of the primer pocket and inside of the case. -anneal to maintain consistent neck tension, preserve brass, and dry. I use an Anealeez. It's cheap, it works, and it sounds like you are going to shoot enough that it will pay for itself in a few years by increasing your brass life. -lube -neck size with Redding full length bushing dies bump shoulder as necessary -Prime -graphite neck lube for better bullet seating -charge -seat bullets with Wilson dies and Arbor press (2nd variation in the process) these seating dies are comparably priced to other premium seating dies, the only additional investment is the arbor press and that is relatively small. I feel that I get better concentricity with these dies and you have more feel for neck tension than you do on a press with more mechanical advantage. It's also small enough that you can have it on the bench with you at the range to do seating depth testing. -measure concentricity with Sinclair gauge -Bang [/QUOTE]
