Thank you for this illustrated guide. I am also new and will definitely make use of this method.
Glad it'll help somebody!
Forgot to add in my post about this - I made my own comparator adapters, but you can buy them from a couple of the reloading outfits. Hornady has the most common version (which used to be the Stoney Point tool IIRC) and I think Sinclair or somebody high end like that makes some too.
Here's another tip for any new reloaders - to lube your brass, dump them in a ziplock baggie (I use quart or gallon size freezer bags) and spray an aerosol case lube on the side of the bag (not directly on the cases). Shake it around a bit, and them dump them out, they're ready to size. No more mess on your hands from rolling cases on lube pads, and you can do hundreds of cases at once.
