If you are going to prep buckets of 5.56 spend the money and get the Dillon Super Swager. Gets rid of the crimped primer pocket. Super easy and super effective.You can even hook a spring around the stage ‘lever’ and make it auto-eject.

If I start loading I would do it in steps like some of the other posters where it gets dragged out throughout the week and I'll have my loads done by friday.
One of my shooting buddies offered to help me work up a load, and make a couple hundred 6.5 CM. He said he didn't want to touch 556 though. said something about decrimping or the primer pockets? I don't mind doing some kinda task with a bucket of brass while watching TV. I should ask him next time I see him what he meant, but what does the forum think about brass prepping 556?
