Depends on your goals. Just remember to be honest with yourself when dry firing and regularly test with live fire. I developed some really bad habits by not being fully honest with myself and little live fire. It was a rude awakening on match day.
The right tools make a difference. I ran about 1,000 through a sizing and decapping die on a single stage. That was enough to make me want to quit. I went to GunStop after work and bought another 550 toolhead and universal decapping die. I flew through 250 in a few minutes AND my primers weren't all...
Cheap, efficient means for a dedicated decapping only press or waste of time?
I'm moving to SS tumbling because shiny. Decapping one at a time on a single stage is dumb. My press (550) does not have a case feeder so I'm decapping elsewhere.
I guess I had a BAD idea! If I can find them, I'll have to try comparing CCI and RWS 50 BMG primers. In a Real SHTF situation, I'm taking all my stuff over to Oldman's place, since he lives in the "sticks" . In that situation, I believe with our combined stock and firepower we could ward ...

Winchester primer with wonky anvil. I never look at the inside of primers. This one just caught my eye as I dumped them on the flip tray. I loaded 500 that session and hope that was the only turd in the bunch.
