True that. I've got family in Oklahoma and Mississippi and have been looking at similar areas. Stuff is cheap down there, and most of the people aren't snowflake whackadoodles.

The flip side to moving there with the cheap housing is that it'd be really expensive to ever move back to the northwest, and I sure do like our mountains here, and the mild summers and winters.

I’ll probably come back to visit but I’ll never move back or own anything here. I vote with my wallet, no more taxes paid to corrupt Wa politicians.

Do you both swage before, or after sizing? Reason why I ask, those cases seem to fly in there pretty quick. Get any out of round case mouths if you swage after sizing?

I typically swage after resizing, since the primer gets popped out during the resizing process. Even when flinging brass out of the Dillon 600, I've never had an issue with the brass getting banged up.

I de-prime using a universal de-priming "die" then swag.
Then I tumble, anneal and then resize.

Several ways to do the process.
I don't think anyone method has major advantages over another.

I deprime, wet tumble, then swage

Deprime first so the primer pocket gets cleaned during tumbling

Tumble before swaging so there isn’t any crud in the pocket to affect the swage

Sorry for the late response. As others have mentioned there’s so many different ways people do this and not one method is better than the other except mine. Lol
I put my range brass through a corn cob or walnut vibratory tumbler for an hour or two, line them up to spray lanolin/heat concoction in the mouths, resize, clean with lacquer thinner, wet clean w/ss pins, swage then trim to length.
I prep 223/556 in batches of 500 to 1000 each time, I get into a rhythm to do it the same each time.
