[QUOTE="J-B welder, post: 2093740, member: 115997"] Well now I don't feel like such a slow-poke taking two nights to load up 20 rounds. I usually do the prep for an hour after dinner the first night, hitting each case with a Scotch-brite, checking for splits and cracks. They seem to show up a lot better when the brass is shiny. Three or four swipes with a case neck brush and a roll on the lube pad, then I size them, wipe off the lube and check again for splits or dents, check the length, trim and de-burr, and give them another once-over for good measure. That'll take me an hour or so. The next night I'll prime them, using the depth gauge on my caliper to make sure the primers are all seated properly, charge each case and seat a bullet. Last is step for each round is to measure the CBTO and do a final inspect, but I like the idea of weighing each cartridge when it's done. I think I'll add that to my routine. [/QUOTE]
