I received the 49th edition of Lymans' loading manual this week and have begun reading. Earlier this year I purchased and read the Lee manual. Lyman is much more meticulous than Lee. As an example, Lee only address case trimming when he's talking about rifles. Lyman address both handgun and rifle.
So here are two questions that come to mind;
1. Should you measure your used handgun cases prior to prepping them for reload?
2. How many of you experienced loaders are actually trimming your handgun cases?
I do understand the basics of metallurgy and the expansion and stretching of the metal. However, it is not a handgun topic that I have seen discussed on this board since I joined earlier this year. I need to know if I should be adding another quality control step into my process.
I appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Thank you.
