[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 74010, member: 3"] Ian Meplats evaporate during trimming so there never residue. Trimming meplats is like digging holes, no matter how hard you work or how much dirt you move, it's still just a complete hole. I still load using the Wilson dies. It's getting to where it takes me a long time to load a big batch but most of the time is preparation. I bought a RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 thing but I still catch myself checking the thing against my analog balance every once in a while. I trim meplats and measure base to ogive (soon to begin measuring bearing surface instead/also). I anneal case necks. I clean (tumble -- jiggle's more like it) the cases and have an ultrasonic cleaner on order to clean the inside too. I check OAL against the rifle each loading session to account for wear and keep the distance to the lands at .001. Takes a long time but it's mental health time for me, beats knitting!! [/QUOTE]
