Re: Progressive setup comparison thread...

My AP press with Case feeder, Bullet Feeder and Bully Adapter.
All Lee dies. On the AP, I do 9mm and 223 both are small case, small primer.
For 9mm:
Pass one:
1) Clean cases in wet SS tumbler (max 60min)
2) De-prime size only. LEE die
Pass two:
1) Clean cases in wet SS tumbler(max 45 min), Spray some Hornady One Shot lube in a zip lock.
2) Prime
3) Drop charge using Hornady measure with PTX flaring
4) Bullet drop from Bully adapter with 4 tubes. Tubes are filled using Hornady bullet feeder
5) Bullet seat using LEE die
6) Bullet crimp using LEE factory crimp.

For 223mm:
Pass one:
1) Clean cases in wet SS tumbler (max 60min), Spray some Hornady One Shot lube in a zip lock.
2) De-prime size only. LEE die
3) Clean primer pockets, chamfer and de-burr on RCBS case mate.
Pass two:
1) Lube the cases with some more Hornady One Shot lube in a zip lock.
2) Prime
3) Drop charge using Hornady measure
4) Case powder check using a digital camera
5) manual Bullet seat using LEE die
6) Bullet crimp using LEE factory crimp.

Also, I can do 45ACP and 40SW (do not shoot it) on the AP.
On Lee Classic Turret with reverse indexing and completed rd ejector, I do 45 ACP, 30-06 and 300WM.
Lesson learned on the weekend, do not mess with the mandrel of the sizing-die.
