If I see any of those I just toss them.   I have not seen any of these since I moved back to Tulsa from the Houston area.in my opinion anything done off the press like brass sorting or de-prime or prime is defeating the entire purpose of a progressive press.  The progressive presses are designed to do it all in one stroke of the handle.  If you want to spend hours doing things that have little or no impact on the final product that’s up to you.  after all a wise man once said “time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time”</blockquote>
