[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1350335, member: 11132"] I have too much time on my hands or more correctly I just love the way reloading case prep shooting takes my mind off everything else going on in my little world. Becasue of that I tend to be stupid about prepping. I tend to skim turn my all the necks after running them thru the die. Any slight off center for the neck is addressed with the first firing. I do that, lightly clean up the primer pocket base, bevel both sides of the flash holes. Check all cases for length and pull any extremes and then trim to shortest of the common length. I tend to anneal after every shooting. I made a annealer out of one of the Mrs pie pans ( not happy)and an old variable electric motor I had. Added a Y hosed torch adapter run off a grill 30lb bottle. One thing have been doing for years after a trial by mistake is use a qtip and rub a small amount of dry lub film inside the neck of each case. I noticed it made my seating more consistent and my ES dropped a bit. It seems to have the same effect carbon has from the powder after a firing if you do not clean well. See the same type results reported from those using BN coated bullets. I do not know about most everyone else but I honestly do prep as much because I enjoy doing it as for the results. Certainly as not doing it rather than shooting though but I have more time when the sun is down so why not is how I look at it. I guess its my mediation time. [/QUOTE]
