Primer Pocket uniforming. My RCBS power case trimmer with a triple cutter head trims, chamfers and deburrs in one step and makes quick work of a normally boring job. I know that primer pocket uniforming may not really be always necessary but I do it any way - maybe that's why I like it the least.......DJ

Paying for the components!
Have started buying powder in the 5-lb and 8-lb containters and my hunting bullets run about $1 each.

Mike: I agree about weighing carges. So tedious that I am switching to powders that meter well and throwing all my loads. The process is easily twice as quick now.

Hands down winner is checking water capacity with a new brand or batch of brass when your 18month old wants to help. Fortunatley he is easily distracted by using a bullet puller to smash bugs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Getting corn cob media out of cases and flash holes. This is why I rarely tumble cases.

Growler, I use an air compressor with a rubber tipped nozzle. Works great. I leave the tumber running with the top off and pick each case out, hold it upside down and let it vibrate against the threaded rod sticking out of the tumbler and then just give it blast of air through the case mouth.

Weighing powder charges, most boring thing in the world. I'm using a lot of Ramshot powders now, they throw more accurately than I can weigh.

Charlie, do you find that Ramshot, when loaded to the same velocity in a like case and bullet, seems to recoil more? I loaded some Big Game in my 7-08 with 120gr BT's and I couldn't believe the recoil and muzzle jump compared to RL 15 when loaded to the same velocity.

708fan I havent been able to tell any difference. Same velocity and powder charge should equal same recoil. aaaahhhhh, wish you hadn't brought that up, more test to do.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Charlie

I dislike case prepping the most. I should just quit whining, and buy a Gracey(or some similar product), but have yet to shell out the bucks.
I used to hate weighing charges till I discovered the joys of powder measures and good ball/short kernal extruded powder. Now I only use the scale to confirm my measure settings.
