[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1569473, member: 69192"] I TOTALLY agree with your post. I have asked the question in a previous thread that I posted. It was suggested that I buy a couple of reloading manuals, I bought the suggested manuals and read everything from page to page; one manual was [U]Reloading for Competition, Zediker[/U]. The manual is okay, I found the author to be a little more long winded than informative!! But he never writes about what stage your brass is supposed to be at/in before you start the process. From all of the literature I know how to turn cases and what tools to buy to get the process done, and what to use!! BUT.....[U][I]where do you start from to begin with[/I][/U]!!???? Do you start the process with a once fired case and ream the doughnut out then full length resize, do you full length resize the case, then trim it to length and then ream the case so you get the mandrel to fit properly, there's all this information, however no one tells you where to start, it seems like there's always something left out; start at "A", then go to "B", then to "C" and so on would be nice. I built precision plastic injection molds for six years, the molds had a .0005 thousandths flash point (means that all of the parts had to mesh and fit within .0005 thousandths).
