Guys here is my reloading process tell me where I am going wrong. This primarily for hunting.
Deprim brass only
Clean brass in a sonic cleaner
tumble polish
lube brass
full-length resize (bump shoulder no more .003)
Check shoulder length (<.003)
Trim length
Check case length (<.003)
Debur neck inside and out
Debur primer pocket (if new brass)
Uniform Primer pocket
Outside Neck turn (new or if the neck is out of tolerance)
Check neck concentricity (<.003). I typically get less than .001.
Insert Primer
Load power using a digital scale accurate to a 10th of a grain. I use to check them on a balance scale but have stopped because of the accuracy of the digital scale.
Seat bullet
Check cartridge length to bullet ogive (<.003). I typically get less than .003.
Check bullet runout (<.003). I typically get less than .002.
I use to weight cases, bullets and primers to group them for weight. I don't do that anymore as the QC on the components are much better now plus my accuracy with this process is excellent.
