I Forgot How Much I Hate Brass Prep

[thor447]

are you doing them on a single stage and hand trimmer?

I'm using a Lyman case prep station and the Frankford Arsenal micrometer trimmer that chucks into a drill. I've always loaded my rifle calibers on a Rockchucker. I can get 1000 loaded fairly quickly even through the single stage. It's just the brass prep that is really time consuming. I use my Dillon for 9 and 45, and the single stage for all of the rifles.

Be thankful you still can. A gentleman that my dad worked with was an avid reloader for years. He has come down with Parkinson's disease and is no longer able to reload like he used to.

Indeed. Good to put it into perspective. We all can be thankful for something.

Yea, I bet your fingers are a little PO'd. I do 223REM on my 650Xl with RT1200 trimmer. The only real downside with that way is that it does not give you a chamfered edge. Not a big deal in my opinion.
