So I have gotten all the goodies needed to start using my Lee 1000 Progressive reloader that my Dad got me for Christmas some 10 years ago.
I have been reading the Lyman reloader handbook, and the ABCs of Reloading.
They all basically describe doing each step of the process with a single turret press.
In other words, you deprime all of them at once, then clean the primer pocket, clean your brass, resize the, etc, etc, as separate operations.
But how do you do this with a progessive reloader? Mine takes primed cases, deprimes them, resizes them, charges them, primes them, and puts bullets in them, all in one go.
I can tumble them before the whole process, but obviously you can't clean the primer pocket.
Same thing for checking case length and trimming and deburring.
So was it a mistake to get a progressive reloader?
