Chapo Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Wondering what you experts do, to say, prep you cases before you load them. Here I share my steps for case preparation of .223. Hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S. Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 My first step is to de-prime. I have an extra tool head with a Lee Universal de-priming die, then just run all the brass through the 650 using the correct caliber set up and case feeder. De-piming this way is very fast and after going through the other brass prep steps, it's like loading new brass. It also means you don't waste time on cleaning Berdan primed cases.

Chapo Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Do you deprime first for all caliber? For me, I deprime first if its 9mm because I can run them fast through the Lee App press. If it is, say, 223, I wet tumble first, then deprime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S. Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I pretty much do them all. Unless I'm doing a really small batch such as when working on a new load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
