Wanted Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I don't have all my equipment and componets together yet. Can I resize, deprime and trim cases. Then set them aside to load later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Absolutely. Clean your brass and do your case prep. Great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 With rifle cases, especially .223 or .308, you almost have to. I polish, deprime and size, trim to length, tumble the polish off and swage out the primer crimps on a big batch of cases well before they start getting reloaded. Even with a 1050 (which will swage the primer crimps), you have to trim the cases before reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 I know it seems like a dumb question. But I really enjoy doing it. I find every aspect of reloading to be relaxing. Oh, and it's .223 brass on a Dillon 550. It's been tumbled, so I'll resize, deprime and trim. Then set aside till I get some bullets. Thanks for the support.

RePete Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I don't have all my equipment and componets together yet. Can I resize, deprime and trim cases. Then set them aside to load later? Absolutely. It's called batch loading. You perform one or 2 operations and then quit, do something else. I consider charging with powder, seating the bullet and making load notes to be ion operation.

Intel6 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I do this all the time with rifle brass. If figure since my 650/casefeeder is all messed up with Dillon case lube I might as well do a bunch of them. After I clean all the lube off I inspect them and bag them up and label them with a big "RTL" ready to load. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 This really is fun stuff. Loadig pistol has just become kind of mechanical. Don't get me wrong, I still look in each case and pay close attention. It's just that there are so many steps to loading rifle, that it's more interesting.

Dan Sierpina Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I prime a couple hundred at a time, and put them in a sealed container. Then only need to dump powder, and seat the bullet. Winter's a good time to size and trim them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
