This keeps primer “grit” well away from resizing dies. The really dedicated can use this die in an old “loose” press (not TOO loose) so that any crud that falls out does not accumulate in your “good’ press frame, ram and lever pivots.

Once the “raw” brass is deprimed, washed and dried, de-crimp the primer pockets. I am a big fan of the Dillon 600 for robustness and repeatability.

FLS and then check overall length. Brass that has expanded more in firing (sloppy “mi-spec” chambers and headspace , especially in SAWs, mean that expansion has to go somewhere during resizing, and it goes FORWARD. ALWAYS gauge OAL.

Trim to the desired length (Powered trimmers are a godsend)

Inside and outside chamfer as desired and THEN do the pin-polish thing. Finally, rinse in distilled water to remove chemical residues, shake off the excess water and sun or LOW oven dry..

A lot of “drama”? Yes. However you will have quality brass that will handle a fair bit of re-use (especially if you anneal after every few cycles). And keep checking OAL and trimming accordingly.

The pressures that can develop with over-length brass in “match” chambers can disassemble your rifle with nary a screwdriver or pin-punch in sight.
