Why does this have to be so tool and time intensive? Even some of my new current reloading book have errors in them I've caught and it just makes things worse. I wish brass didn't have to be so far out of shape, wish things were simpler. I get by but it's not fun at times and there's some frustration. Anneal, trim, Guage, measure. Does anyone find it a pain and share in frustration?

Brother all you need is a sharpie, and start with a kiss and rock on. I've never kept a rifle that I could not get to group 3/4" at 100 yds using this method. No [bleep] round. No glass bedding or that crap. Lee Press. it's not complicated at all. RCBS dies. its actually so easy a caveman could do it. Not trying an azz. You speak of stuff that doesn't matter.
