On a side note R93, do you use a bullet feeder? I have never had to balance a projie on the case mouth as the press turns so never needed to flare the case mouth. I just push the projectile up into the hornady seating dies floating sleeve with my finger and when the ram is half way up i just pull my finger out of the way and it drops down onto the case ready for seating. (I apologise if this is a retarded question, i have no idea how a bullet feeder works and i dont understand why one needs to balance a projectile on a case mouth)

I think I am dumb enough to jam my fingers if I do it like you do. Especially with any speed.

I don't have a case or bullet feeder and have a routine that for me is fast.
As I crank the handle I am reaching for another case and projectile.

And the flare I use is hard to see with the naked eye. It is only just enough to keep the projectile in place when it indexes.
