Hornady AP Press question
Hi all,

When I use to use a single stage press, I use to clean, deprime/resize and then deburr/chamfer and clean the primer pockets. With the Progressive press, do I cleaned my brass with the spent primers in the cases and then deburr/chamfer before reloading with the Hornady LnL AP?
I have my AP set up for:
1) Deprime/Size
Prime
2) Charge/Expand
3) Powder Check (Powder Cop)
4) Seat
5) Crimp

Do I not need to worry about cleaning the primer pockets anymore? Do you Progressive Press users, ream primer pockets at all?


Thanks,
Steve

PaseMkr,
Did you post this elsewhere? I used to have a great memory but I forgot when that was. Big Grin
I swear I remember replying to a quite similar question recently-anyway, to answer the ?

No

Since I only load high volume stuff like 223/5.56
and pistol ammo on the LnL I don't worry about primer pockets that may not be cleaned by the ultrasound process prior to loading.

Precision target stuff and all hunting ammo undergoes much more rigorous case prep and loaded on Forstner single stage with higher end type dies.
