[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2841983, member: 94420"] I try to avoid it, but it sometimes happens. I don't use range pickup brass, because my range is at my house. So when I buy brass or ammo I try to stick with .223 to avoid crimped primers. My current process for reloading .223 is as follows: Universal decap die, then run through small base die with expander removed. Trim chamfer and de-burr with 3 way cutter. Prime, and uniform necks with a mandrel die, powder charge, seat bullets, and if loading for my AR rifles run through a crimp die. I've looked at the Dillon CP2000 as my first as I could prime, charge and seat all on a single stage. However, I was hoping for a less expensive option first. I don't have a normal job or have a work schedule, so when I get a couple hours at the bench I'd like to do as much as possible. I like to shoot prairie dogs and 1K rounds goes pretty fast. I just can't keep up with my consumption this time of year. Even with batch work it takes a while to load 1K on a single stage. [/QUOTE]
