By far the best reloading advice I ever got was to get a progressive loader!
Shooting in excess of a 1000 rounds a week, it made short work of reloading. You needed to be told?????
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

A sharpie on the case to see what's contacting and what's not.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Case length plugs that go in a shortened brass and get bolted in the action, remove case and Measure for the max case length in your rifle. Once you know your rifles max case length, just make a note of it and it will minimize your need to trim cases. My rifles (all but 1) have max case lengths 15-30 thousandths ove book spec max.

Powder all your cases, set them in a shell holder and check with a flashlight looking for discrepancies prior to seating bullet.

Just reorganized the loading room the last couple days, adding shelves above and below the bench to consolidate everything within reach. It really feels better. I like having a place for everything. Some of the loading benches I've seen set up in someones barn or whatever would drive me nuts. Here's the finished product. Finished ammo goes elsewhere, this is loading supplies only. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nhs48ye.jpg)

I started using this quite a few years ago and it is IMO the best and easiest case lube. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012981131?pid=782240

Some of the loading benches I've seen set up in someones barn or whatever would drive me nuts. Here's the finished product. Finished ammo goes elsewhere, this is loading supplies only. Give me a few minutes and all that neatness will be undone. I like my pile of stuff in the barn. This pic is old, I think maybe its worse now. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/JHQDzr8y/benchpic.jpg)

Consistency = accuracy.
Actually, that came from shooting a bow, but it's carried over into pretty much everything in life, including reloading.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
