Thumbs up Reloading "IZZ" Survival

I also am a dedicated user of the Lee Turret system. That said, I have determined/decided that staging aspects of the reloading schedule to be BEST, or at least most ideal in my reloading.

I distinctly breakup tasks in order to maximize my accuracy:
  • I de-prime all brass first
  • I then tumble/vibrate all brass
  • I then PRIME all brass and place in 50-count styro---
  • Finally, I set/dispense the measured powder, insert desired bullet, press bullet to depth, and crimp accordingly using the turret.

In other words, for me, I feel that attempting TOO many steps at once/consecutively increases my chances of making mistakes that are avoidable. I maintain roughly 1-5k rounds of my desired calibers at all times, so "speed" is never interfering with my desire for perfection/accuracy in my reloading.

Truth be told, at my age I could probably give up reloading and purchase all of my ammo... however having +35lb various powder, several ...Ks of bullets/primers/brass kind of negates the above motivation to "purchase" what I need. And besides, the current "State Of Affairs" rather necessitates a DIY approach to "Schtuff"...
