Very similar to my process. I like it because as you mention you've got quality control at every step. Mine: Decap. Anneal. Brush neck. Sort, swage crimped pockets. Lube. Resize. Trim. Deburr/champher. Wet tumble. Dry. Prime. Charge. Seat.
Sounds like the way I do my 223/5.56. I tumble empties when I first get them, then I lube and deprime/size. Some where around 1k+, the next step would be to trim all of the cases. I then would chamfer the primer pocket. After that is done I wash all of the cases. When they are dry I will Prime and sort the cases by 223 or 5.56 and put in containers to be loaded at what time they are needed. I think that by processing the bulk way leans for better quality control. Love what you do on your channel.
This is perfect timing I wanted to start reloading 223/556 I have everything I need but until now have only reloaded pistol ammunition...looking forward to your series thanks
@@SquatchReloaded my goal is to make 100 rounds comfortably in an hour. Do you think it's possible? I've yet to try the reble, I did buy the bench primer, and competition powered messure with micrometer. I figure if I can, prime, add power, then use the press to seat/crim. I could do 3 rounds in a minute ideally. I've yet to think of or seen a depriming station I think is smooth, and tumber i liked. I plan to be strict on only doing 100 rounds at a time for reloading since im starting out so I wish they made a small tumbler for 100.
I would focus on developing your process with your equipment. Develop muscle memory and a system. Focus on that first and 100 rounds in an hour shouldn’t be too difficuly
this is How we load all our ammo, in stages with the single stage press. Its really easy to do alot of the mundane stuff like depriming while binge watching a show haha.
I would love to join ya on this series but I can’t keep up. One point... please tell everyone to separate 5.56 from their 223 Remington brass. I believe we’re talking about 2 different loads. Thanks Brother.
@@DTWCT you tell the difference by the head stamps. 223 Remington is stamped 223 Rem or Remington. 556 brass has a manufacturer stamp and a date. 5.56 has higher pressure because the cases are thicker, or at least, that’s how I understand it. I hope that makes sense.
Great video. I havent reloaded much 223 other than for "match" stuff but I'm gonna start working on developing a load for bulk stuff and start loading it alot more.. running low on my cheap stuff and im not paying today's prices. Question, do you ever anneal your 223 brass?
So currently I do not Anneal my 223 brass. I do know that annealing will extend the life of your breast significantly. With the current state of things I have considered doing so. However the bulk of my 223 gets left on the ground during competition as we are not allowed to pick up.
I came to you by accident, and I need to apologize for that. God bless ya brother.

Like the bin system. Def will be implementing this in the future.

You can do it! Check out my Turret 223 series we are going to cover some of the same stuff but geared towards a single stage press.
I'm in the same boat.
Would you rather have a turret press?
I just bought the rcbs reble not sure if I should have gone turret
I already have both. Really depends on how you run them. I have turrets with multiple heads so it’s easy die change

Great video way I think I'll do it when I start reloading

I am basically just getting into this one. Give me a shout let’s work this out.
How do you know the difference and does it matter? I thought the only difference was the pressures that they're loaded to

The video that I made that no one will ever see was over this topic. 😏
Noooooo is this the vid the iPhone took with its death?
@@SquatchReloaded yep. 😁
You should do it again sometime. I would like to see how you approach it. I see we both like bins👍🏼
This is how I reload.
