For me its a given "Imperial sizing die wax " the stuff is like magic, especially if you shoot "hot" rounds, in different rifles .
The stuff is the slickest , smoothest , cleanest lube I have ever used !

Deprime separately from sizing. Take the expander out of your FL size die and just use a universal deprimer first. The expander stretches the case and ruins the cocentricity.
But you can do it if your necks needing rerounding. Just a little tip from the great JB.

Pull the decapper pin on your resizing die when resizing, then reinstall and size neck on down stroke instead of up.

Be sure you measure the powder right.

Read a couple of expert magazine articles, years ago......."just back off your full-length sizing die for the neck sizing effect".
Thank goodness my IQ doubled theirs.
Did have to help a couple sheep with their problems after that.
Negative feedback must have changed their tune rather quickly.

More time shooting garners better results than more time at the reloading bench.

make a label from half an index card, write with a sharpie in big bold letters the powder your are using, and place that in the powder hopper in plain sight of the user. Remove the jars of powder from the workbench. That way, if you get interrupted, and I do, you know exactly what powder you are using.

I have a roll of stickers and a sharpie on my powder measure, great idea !

Stock up on primers before a crisis.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I just started using the Hornady headspace comparater. I found out I was way over working my brass and leaving too much space inside of the barrel chamber that should of been filled with the case.

Hey, you ain't seen my sista. Crap, I'm too busy hunting, shooting, fishing, posting to have the time.  I had a shooting store expert try to show me once how to improve my ammo for my 270 Wby in price, velocity, and accuracy. Then he tried to show me twice, then thrice. Then he finally said the only thing he could show me was how to save a few dimes. He couldnt match the velocity or accuracy. I didnt ask him to show me on 22 LR or 22 Mag.
