Hi fellow Calgunner Reloaders. Just did my first 100 .223 using my spent brass from PMC Bronze line ammo. I'm reloading using single stage RCBS press. This is what I did. From doing more research after the fact I think some of my case prep is only necessary for match ammo.
1. Decap

8. Chamfer and Debur
9. Tumble
10. Prime
11. Charge
12. Bullet Seat...Done
Couple questions that I had, my brass had variances of 1.753 to 1.758, I just trimmed all to 1.750. Just bought a 100 pack of brasss of Winchester .223, they all also have variances, should I just trim to 1.750 or if they are within the max length, should I not trim. Another concern was charging. I'm using a RCBS Uniflow Measure. I was checking every 10th charge, and some were a grain less or two grains more than my goal of 22.7. How concerned should I be on that note. I also didn't flashhole debur. Is it necessary? If I flashhole debur, and primer pocket uniform, do I have to do it everytime for that lot of brass, or once for the lifetime of that brass is okay? Thanks in advance, your help is greatly appreciated.
