[QUOTE="Ackley Man, post: 270607, member: 16583"] Here your go: 1- Trim cases to uniform length 2- Neck turn case necks to ONLY remove the high spots. In a non tight neck chamber cutting the necks more is a waist of time. 3- Weigh cases & sort 4- Weigh bullets & sort 5- Full length size (if new brass) 6- Uniform primer pockets 7- Champher case mouths (don't use a VLD cutter unless your using VLD bullets as the angle of VLDs is not the same as standard bullets) 8 - Prime cases 9- Charge cases (to within 1/10 grain each) 10- Seat bullets 11- Check bullet runout with concentricity gauge. You can buy a concentricity gauge and dial indicator from either Sinclair or Redding. RCBS just re-tooled their factory and their tolerances are very good. Your dies will be date stamped. If they are 9/08 or later you're good. Invest in an Redding micrometer seating die & a bushing neck die. They can fill you in on the details. You don't need a "chamber gauge" it won't tell you any thing other that that the chamber was cut to within SAMI specs. You do need a COAL gauge to determine the overall cartridge length from the case base to the contact point of the bullet ogive and the barrel lands. You will have to experiment with seating depths in .005 plus and minus (bullet ogive to land contact) to determined what works best as far as accuracy for your gun. Nuf sed [/QUOTE]
