For those starting out here is a checklist that I did up when i taught a couple of mates.
Reloading Process Checklist
• Inspect Brass- cracks, case head rings, bulges, same brand, right caliber, (discard)
• Clean Brass if required- steel wool & meths, brush inside neck, (I just give the necks a clean with steel wool & run a nylon brush thru the neck)
• Lube Brass (lightly)
• Resize & Deprime (either Full Length or neck size)
• Clean lube off (chux cloth/handy towel)
• Clean up primer pocket (small bladed screw driver will do)
• Check case length- trim if req’d
• Chamfer/Deburr neck
• Prime (firm crush, primer shouldn’t sit proud of pocket)
• Charge with powder- weigh each load
• Seat bullet- check OAL
Wear safety glass’s while priming
Double check you are using the correct powder!
Don't reload when your tired, distracted or rushed (do it somewhere quite)
Keep good records
