Cleaning. I deprime and drop them in the ultra sonic tank for about 30 minutes. Then put them in the dryer for about an hour. I love prepping them. That's my quite time. When I was shooting competition. Just about every weekend. I was shooting between 500 to 1,000 rounds. When I worked for the DoD. A 500 rounds a day was nothing. About the only time I didn't shoot daily with the DoD, was when they would ship me to Europe on assignment.

Its easy but tedious. And resizing the cases suck. I have the Franklin armory case prep machine, but after a while my hands cramp up and no good for a few days

New cases or once shot cases I do a full prep on them. Full length resize, trim to length, debuur the mouth, flash hole deburr, primer pocket uniformed, neck wall thickness cut to .012" for rifle. After every 2 firing. I will anneal the necks. I also bump the should back .002" after the first firing and every firing after that. After I do the full prep. I only check for length every 2 firings, a long with the annealing.

Rifle bullets, I will sort through them by weight and ogive length. Pistol, I just weight the bullets.

I shoot mostly rifle, so the full prep has to happen each time theyre reloaded. I wish I had kids to do the prepping.

I do the full prep on rifle once. Full length resize and bump the shoulder back every time. Then after every 2 firings. I check length and anneal the case neck. Pistol, I full prep the first time. Then check length every 2 firings. But I inspect both rifle and pistol cases for damages after every firing.

Couple of forums you should check out.
