I wonder how many firings it took for that too occurDillon did a lot of testing to show there was no effect on performance, as have some YouTube videos. However, even Dillon says enough build-up starts to impact ignition reliability. And board member Hummer70, who is a former Aberdeen Proving Grounds test director, says the carbon deposits in primer pockets get hard enough so their residue that is blown into the case and down the barrel contributes a borescope-visible increase in throat wear. He invented the stainless pin cleaning method about 30 years ago because of looking for a way to eliminate that carbon and keep it from being sent down the tube.
Significantly longer than your brass will last.I wonder how many firings it took for that too occur
My approach is not to eliminate these steps, but instead to move them off your press: Do them in batch mode first, deprime, clean, inspect and cull, size, trim only if really needed, seat primers.too see if I can get the same accuracy with cutting out some steps, such as trimming, decapping , wet cleaning

Then sit at your press with Ready to Go brass.
... then its more time spent shooting than ocd reloading which Im trying to get away from.
44ampI get what you're trying to get away from, but how do you figure it will give you more time shooting?? Are you figuring that not doing reloading steps that aren't absolutely essential will produce more rounds per time spent, and that will give you more "time" shooting?? OR is it something else??
I do my reloading at times (and in places) where I can't go shooting. Don't you??
If saving time is the priority, then spend more money, and buy brand new factory made ammo. There's no free lunch.
If you need to be reloading for any of the many reasons we do it, then those reasons are higher priority than saving time.
