[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 1028911, member: 2261"] My process is a bit different. I ultrasonic clean my brass (which leaves the primer pockets clean roughly 90% of the time; if not you can wipe them clean with a q-tip when you place them on the drying racks.) 1. Decap/deprime brass using a universal decapping die 2. Ultrasonic clean 3. place upside down (necks down) and let dry 4. Inspect brass for defects (check for impending case head separation from time to time) 5. Anneal as necessary (based on number of times fired) 6. IF ANNEALED, then brush out necks w/ nylon bore brush 7. Resize (Full length w/ 0.0005 to 0.001 shoulder bump including a neck bushing) 8. Prime cases 9. Charge (throw, weigh and trickle on a accurized beam scale each charge) 10. Seat bullets 11. Check Base to ogive on first 2 or 3 and then on random rounds to ensure dies are being consistent on seating depth. 12. Shoot 'em This process does not include the case prep that goes into new brass... JeffVN [/QUOTE]
