I just acquired A Lee 3 Turret Press w/ 38 Special and 30-06 dies (both a 3-die set), Modern Reloading by Richard lee (first edition), and a Lyman case trimmer. All of this came from a friend that wanted to get into reloading that got it from another friend that had passed away. It was collecting dust so he gave it to me. I also just ordered the 2nd addition of Modern Reloading, the pilot set that was missing from the trimmer. And a 4 Die set in 9 mm. I have spent the last few days studding the book and spending many hours on what I call YouTube University. So it is my understanding that after a few reloads the brass can lengthen, I also caught on a couple of videos that the brass can also lengthen after going thru the resizing/ de primmer die. Is the trimmer something you need to go back to before you seat the Bullet?
Also it's my understanding that .001 is the tolerance to stay within. Where some even trim .001 short. The brass in most of the videos looks to be new. And I have been unable to find a video that goes completely thru the process from picking up the spent brass to going back to the range. I was just wondering what everyone's workflow is. I feel like I am somewhat getting a grasp on this process. But I still need more schooling to make sure I am not getting off track. Thanks in advance.
