Be interested to see if I am going a bit overboard with the process of reloading of my own bullets. Firstly, I am retired, have time on my hands and attention to detail in the reloading process is something I really enjoy. I have gone through the whole process of load development and only shoot targets off a bench at the range socially for a couple of hours per week.
New cases
1. visual inspection of all cases
2. check about 10% of total to confirm they are under max length
3. lube and neck resize
4. wipe excess lube from cases and deburr inside and outside of case neck
5. prime
7. charge, seat projectile and check length.
Fired cases
1. visual inspection of fired cases looking for signs of pressures, case separation or neck cracking
2. quick scrub of inside of case neck with wire brush to remove any carbon
3. lube, neck resize and de-prime
4. wipe excess lube from case and deburr inside and outside of case neck
4. a good soak and wash in hot water (squirt of dishwashing liquid and 1/2 a scoop of napisan) for 30 minutes. Clean out primer pockets and thoroughly rinse
5. allow to dry for a day or so
6. prime, charge and seat projectile and check length.
