Isn't that Hornady LNL progressive like $500? That's....probably something I'd upgrade to later.

My brass is all once-fired out of my rifle only. Federal GMM 168gr and 175gr. Some PMC 168gr.

So swapping dies sucks, so you either want the Hornady bushings, a Hornady LNL, or a Turret press?

Before I go watch a million random videos, does anybody have recommendations for some videos to watch?

I watched Ted at the range at a match take the brass he just shot, and reload it. It appeared to be quite easy. He obviously wasn't tumbling it. He got 3rd only because he dropped 1 shot, so he didn't get a perfect score. He got 31x's though, which beat out the competition. I don't think he's doing full-length resizing. Or using a turret press. Or progressive. Or anything fancy. No case trimming.

1. De-prime
2. Neck size
3. Prime
4. Powder
5. Bullet

He did it between rounds, and used the same brass all day.

What kind of gun are you reloading for? And how gnat's ass tight are you going to measure stuff?

Here's a tool my buddy has that we use in the process. It has its fans and its detractors. I find it pretty snuffy:
