[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 2253941, member: 97905"] My steps for prepping fired brass are: [LIST=1] [*]De-prime (Could be done about anytime before resize as it's hard to get a good measurement if a fired primer is sticking out slightly) [*]Tumble (I do a pre-tumble, my theory is annealing and sizing are more consistent, plus it keeps crud out of my sizing die) [*]Anneal (I do use the tempilaq 750 on the neck to about 1/8 inch below the shoulder on about 5 cases to be setup, then I run them all) [*]Lubricate (I use a homemade alcohol oil mixture and I have to let the alcohol fully evaporate, so I lube the whole lot I'm working with at one time) [*]Resize [*]Trim/bevel/chamfer (if required, usually isn't) [*]Tumble (To remove lube and, if necessary, brass shavings) [*]Prime [*]Load [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
