I really dread loading for pistol with my single stage. For how quickly I shoot through the lot, the prep time is really a drag. Now, I would never do this for rifle brass, but I was wondering if it is acceptable to skip the chamfer & deburr step when using straight walled pistol cases (9mm & .45 ACP specifically). It seems like the belling would eliminate any chance of shaving the bullet...and let's face it the weak link in accurate pistol shooting (in my case) is the nut behind the gun.
I would just love to tumble with stainless media (thereby cleaning the primer pockets), then go straight to resizing and belling.
It 'seems' like you could get away with this, but I thought I'd throw it out there to the gurus.
Thanks!
