| I have tried taking shortcuts many times. Once I skipped deburring the outside of the neck. I was loading .223 Rem. on my Dillion. On the last station, I had a crimp die. I ended up spending more time brushing away the chips (the burrs) that the crimp die pushed off. If you skip the chamfering the inside, you'll probably shave the jacket. I found instead of taking shortcuts, I'm better off taking the laptop to the loading bench and watching movies of U-tube to make loading less of a drag. I only do this for the mundane case preparation. When I'm actually charging cases with powder, I want no distractions. I won't even do that if I'm alittle tired. |

Get a tool adapter for a drill from Sinclair and a Wilson/RCBS deburring tool. The work will go fast.
On the topic of chamfering, for the most part deburring inside and outside the case mouth is needed. That means the edge has just the barest break, maybe 0.005 to 0.010 inches max, not really a distinct chamfer. I've never needed a VLD type "chamfer" tool such as the Holland. Boat tail bullets have a natural lead in and all the flat base bullets I've shot have enough radius on the base to get them started into the case. I've crushed very few cases while seating; the most recent was a .22 Jet case about a month ago, and that was likely caused by getting a little careless while seating. Those left over shavings are a really good way to get a bad brass smear in the neck of your die. |
