[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1372137, member: 99718"] I think you have about what you need. I trim the length of my cases and check them with a caliper, I usually make them the same length as a factory round or what the manual says the length should be, then use the hand tool to deburr the necks inside and out. Then clean the insides of the necks with that caliber of brush. Next I clean the primer pockets out good with a little hand tool brush made for it. Before I do anything to resize the cases I lube the outside of the cases with a light oil to prevent them from sticking or working hard in the resizing dies. The only thing that I thought of that you should have is another single stage press so you could put your resizing die in one and your seating die in the other, it saves a lot of time. Or you could invest in a new multiple stage press. Just keep your wits about you when reloading, don't be talking to someone and trying to reload at the same time. I guess what I really wanted to say is avoid all distractions while you are reloading, and follow the loading manual. Start loads well below max and slowly work up watching for pressure signs. DONT SMOKE while loading, use common sense and you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
