Case Processing

Case processing is a very important step in successful reloading. While there are many procedures involved in case prep, here are some important basics that should be considered. Case cleaning, trimming, post-trim deburring, and primer pocket cleaning are all very essential in the case prep process. In order to produce top quality reloads, you’ll want to ensure that the case is free of dirt and debris and that it is sized correctly. You must also remove the primer (usually done during the sizing operation) and ensure that the primer pocket is ready to have a new primer seated.
