[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1371973, member: 91090"] sounds like you have a pretty good procedure down. Are you happy with the accuracy you are getting now? what cartridges are you loading? what rifles? what kind of accuracy are you looking for? it is easy to go down the rabbit hole here. with a good seating die you should be able to set it once and put a lock ring on it and not mess with it any more. how many times have you fired your brass? Do you keep like headstamps and times fired sorted? If you have problems seating bullets with consistent base to ogive you have a neck tension issue. some of your brass is more work hardened than others. Easy fix. Anneal. if you want to upgrade your dies it is hard to beat the forster benchrest sizer/seater combo. Reasonably priced too. i would get a crockagator primer pocket cleaning tool. very inexpensive. only if you are looking at trying to get consistent half moa or better accuracy would i start with concentricity and neck turning and all the other tricks of the trade. if you don't have a rifle capable then the best handloads made won't help.
