Do you not use a bin dam or like I used to do in the stone age a flattened primer box cover?
What goofy crap do you do to ensure consistency in your reloads?

Of course I use a bin dam.
Talking about the chute where the cut out for the press handle to push forward for the primer is.
It's a bunch easier to just pull the round at the seating station and set it in a 100 rd MTM than to pull them out of a bin or describe it to you.

Ah, I get what you are talking about. An ejector wire with a different angle or attaching some plastic or cardboard to the back of the bin is what would be needed there.
Heres my reloading process - an efficiency manager's head would explode. Im sure half could be cut out and I wouldnt notice on paper, but it gives me warm fuzzies and havent had issues finding loads w/ ES under 20 and SD of ~5-6 (over 15-20 shot strings) in a few different cartridges. Still suck at groups though, so good thing i enjoy the hobby.
- Decap
- Wet tumble 15-20 mins (to just knock off any crud and keep as much carbon in the neck as possible)
- Dry in food dehydrator
- lube w/ imperial wax and resize
- dry corn cob vibe for 15 mins to clean off wax
- trim (if needed), chamfer/deburr
- dip necks in graphite
- run a mandrel
- prime
- charge
- seat
me too...you get that sticky shit in your ammo and it causes high SDs and Ammo looks like Spider-Man was helping you load.
I play cartridge appropriate music or movies in my reloading space to ensure that the projectiles and the other components are in harmony with one another. I find it significantly reduces SDs.
My .30-06 really prefers Jazz and early swing music. The .308 is pretty much a die-hard CCR fan; or if it's a long session I'll just put on Apocalypse Now Redux.
