[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3323913, member: 15054"] I was not in a rush but I did keep a steady pace going while I watched the clock. I was curious as to how much time it really takes to clean and prep 69 .308 cases. Remove primers------------- 10 minutes. Tumble time in the tumbler-- 80 minutes. Rinse and remove pins--------15 minutes. Anneal case necks-------------18 minutes. Brush case necks Inside-------3 minutes. Lube cases --------------------7 minutes. Full length resize--------------10 minutes. Remove Lube-----------------10 minutes. Trim cases--------------------10 minutes. Chamfer mouth ID and OD---12 minutes. Uniform flash holes-----------10 minutes Brush case necks again-------3 minutes. Neck turn ---------------------40 minutes. Brush inside necks with Qtips-10 minutes. 238 minutes total nearly 4 hours for just 69 cases. I have not measured and sorted these yet. Add time for that. I did not uniform or decrimp primer pockets as this is just used Federal cases. I will need to flare the case mouths as this is a load I will use for mouse fart cast loads. Probably another 10 minutes. When people ask will you load some cases for me. Yea I do not look forward to doing that. I tell them come over and get after it. When I shoot my bullet I really want my case back. Yes that is a lot of stuff to do to a case and not really needed for most shooting but this is my process for my rifle cases. [/QUOTE]
