Do you guys have any tips, techniques, or tools that you can't live without?
What are they?
Mine is a "simple" one. Since I use a single stage press (Boss) and usually load 20 at a time I use a "cartridge flipping" technique.
When I load my block with the shells I make sure they are all primer side up. When I decap/size it I put it back in the block primer side down. When I reprime it, it goes back primer side up.This way when I charge them with powder they are upright and I know that it's been done.
The flipping let's me know that the the shell is done with that stage and reduces no charge and double charged cartridges (not that I think I could double charge a bottleneck round anyway as it would spill all over but......)
