whats your reloading techniques?

[NigelG]

ignore about expanding (flaring) the case neck, I believe this is only for pistol calibre ammo like as said .38 .357 and usually crimped when used in a tube fed rifle

in necked rifle ammo the neck a squeezed down in size to make a friction fit for the bullet, no need to crimp for a non-tube fed rifle

Right, here you go. I shoot .22H and .223 and reload for both so my case prep and loading techinque is this:

1. Neck size and de prime brass.
2. Case brush the brass,(quick, easy and gets the inside clean. Can't be faffed with a tumbler or US cleaner)
3. Clean primer pockets.
4. Case langth guage and trim if necessary.
5. De burr the cases/chamfer them.
6. Re prime them.
7. Fill with powder.
8. Seat bullet.
9. Fire round, kill fox

When i write it down like that it seems so simple but in reality it's a bit of a chore when pushed for time.

I use RCBS 5-0-5's as my scales. They settle quickly and are top notch. I loaded up 30 .223 in about half an hour the other night which isn't bad for manual hand loading. They are also compatible with the Targetmaster trickler which is next on my list.

Thanks every one,
I think all I appear to be missing is. The neck brushing and the actual. Brush so I shall order one.
