Thread: Reloading Process and Steps Performed

It's horses for courses. But this is what I do. I often skip 1 & 2.


1. De-Prime
2. Clean (if required) I use an ultrasonic cleaner. Water, vinegar, detergent. Rinse and air dry
3. Visual inspection of fired cases looking for signs of pressures, case separation or neck cracking.
4. Anneal every second reload or as required. Gas torch method.
5. Lube including inside of neck
6. FLRS
7. Wash/clean and air dry. Or just wipe off the lube & clean primer pocket.
8. Trim all cases & de-bur. Every load or as required.
9. Prime.
10 Charge. (Weigh all loads) I then check them all using a torch to ensure none have been missed.
11. Seat projectile and check length. (OAL)
