    Deprime, tumble, resize, prime.


    But, since I don't have my Lee universal decapping die yet I'm tumbling first.
    Thank me later:

    I tumble everything before decapping, but for .223 I tumble for 2 hours after resizing/decapping to get the case lube off and also clean out the primer pocket a tiny bit.

    Please don't let the fact that I'm female stop you (all of you) from being yourselves. I would rather leave (though I don't want to) than to be an inhibitor to the comaraderie and fellowship of this place. I'm no feminazi.
    No need to leave, it all stays pretty clean except when wax or otterbatcat (aka squishy pants mcgee) start talking about poop

    Well, womens clothing is much different than mens. I am tall and slender with wide shoulders and a smaller waist. So the thick width of my glock is very apparent on me, in that if you look closely at me from head on, you can see a slight bulge of my pants. My Ruger LCP literally disappears at 3oclock in anything I wear.

    Also, darker colors don't print as easily or obviously, as light colors do. Other than that, you've got to find a holster that is comfortable for where you want to carry and then it takes some adjustment of the cant and depth of the pistol, then try it with lots of outfits to figure out what works and what doesn't.

    Oh, I've seen (and heard) much worse. Poopy talk does not bother me. Pictures of Vinnie give me the heeby-jeebies and I did the icky-bug dance, but I got over myself.

    JM, I apologize for the surprise! I was not being a gent, and I didn't realize it.

    We love everyone here.
    Haha, that reminds me of the sheer volume of "welcomes" the women receive over the men in the New Member Section. Like, one person who had been registered for a week had only 5 welcomes, and the woman who had been registered for 1 day had like 5 pages worth of "Welcomes" lol

    Yes, Vinnie startles me every time I see him lol

    And by the way, well done on racking up the post count. I only surpassed 750 about 8mo ago, and then just broke 2k a few weeks ago. This thread is allowing me to post a whole lot more lol

    I don't wear many light-colored items (it's not vanity, but practicality- I'm clumsy and constantly carry coffee. Dark clothes tend to disguise stains.) Designers have begun to make women's clothes lighter and lighter weight, for $everal rea$on$ : they are meant to layer, which means additional purchases as well as making the clothing even tighter on the body, it's cheaper material (but sold at higher prices) and because it's cheaper, it wears out quicker and must be replaced. It's damnably insidious.

    As well as inconvenient for me to carry my gun! What were they thinking?

    The occasional wolf spider quietly watching me in the laundry room makes me flinch, but then I shoo it out of the way. If I had Vinnie in my house, I'm afraid I'd be giving a war cry and stomping with my combat boots.

    I'm surprised by my post count, and pretty pleased that I'm now a 'high powered shooter' (in title only, sadly). I can't stay away from this place.
