[QUOTE="OldManCrider, post: 2985662, member: 128505"] With my limited reloading experience gained from listening to my dad, then after watching multiple YouTube videos of various content creators, and reading a few of the reloading manuals out there from the different bullet manufacturers my order of operations is as follows… 1). De-Prime 2). Ultrasonic clean and dry (food dehydrator) 3). Anneal with AMP Annealer (I have a question for those of you that have/use this machine)* 4). FL Resize. (I’m still trying to figure out the neck tension thing?) 5). Henderson 3 way case trimmer 6). Ultrasonic clean and dry again. 7). Prime/Charge/Seat. 8). Shoot & Repeat ;-) Now I only typically load 25-50 rounds a session, so cleaning twice is just a good excuse to take a 1 hour break and read the forum while it’s cleaning/drying, or I just research some of my dads old notes. Also the second cleaning helps with the annealing marks. (But they don’t bother me, if anything people that know see them and know that I am annealing my brass) * AMP question… Have you found with the same brass as you go through firings does the annealing code change? So when I annealed brand new brass before the first loading (the box didn’t say and I’d researched that it didn’t hurt if you annealed twice in a row without shooting as long as it cooled back to room temp) the first code was like 0165. (This was for 338 Lapua Brass) Then after shooting when I ran the analyze again it went down to 0163. So was wondering if you see the numbers stay that close together with your brass? Reason being was to see if I really needed to sacrifice a piece of brass after every firing, or if it starts to stay the same and then maybe only analyze/lose a piece after every third firing or so? But continue to use the same code to anneal after every firing.
