[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3700898, member: 15054"] I usually load 20-50 rifle rounds at a time on my single stage press. I will deprime all of them then clean. Next up is lube and resize all of them. The die stays in the press until all are finished that way all of them get the shoulder set back exactly the same amount. But there will be a case or 2 that will sometimes not have the same lube amount on them or the brass is a bit different alloy and the shoulder Ogive will be in a different spot. So if you are asking if you should complete 1 case at a time on a single stage I say no. Takes too long to get the dies back exactly where they were. Today I make darn sure every case is lubed exactly the same and I know where my rifles shoot best with a certain shoulder ogive and certain neck tension so I will resize a few hundred cases now before moving on to the next process. After the die is in the correct spot. I label the container with all the prepped cases as to how they were prepped and which dies I used as I have multiple dies for the same caliber. Some dies size the body just a couple thousandths smaller and that will make a difference in accuracy. This handloading process will eat time and make you go into a deep hole searching for accuracy and there are many different ways to get there. You do enough of it and you will figure out what works best for you. I anneal all rifle cases before sizing After I resize my cases they all get trimmed and chamfered and measured for exact size in a few different spots before they get primed. My bench is maybe 18" by 24" and I have had 3 presses on it. It is a roll around steel cabinet with wood top covered in formica. Nothing fancy. [/QUOTE]
