RCBS X die, is my logic sound on this
I picked up a small base X die when they first came out, used it as directed a bit, then got out of reloading for awhile. I decided to load up some Gold Dots for hunting this year and ended up using the X die as a regular die, only the initial size with mandrel backed out, standard trim to length, and no follow up size with mandrel screwed in.
So in all of that, I rediscovered I actually enjoy handloading, but the trim, chamfer, and debur process not as much. I also prefer leaving things set as much as possible, so the X die process requires some adjusting in and out per batch of brass so that is something I am curious if I can work around.
My assumption is I can acquire a standard small base die to do the initial size, do the X die trim length, then do the X sizing die. If my logic is correct, I should be able to keep a steady stream of brass flowing in to the pile with only the one time trimming and less to no fiddling with adjustments. Any experience or opinions?
