Bulk 556 Brass prep and reloading process

[opngrnd]

Thanks for the great post! Very helpful tips. I like your idea for feeling for the neck tension to check for cracks.

So besides low or high powder charge what reloading issue can cause you to lose a finger or an eye? The XL650 has a powder check station to alarm for that condition.

To my knowledge, squibs and overcharged cases are the issue here. I'd probably be happy with the powder check if things look good on the chronograph.
