How do yall process your brass? How big are your batches? do you do it all at once, or break it down into steps?
For handgun I generally do 1000 at a time. Quick tumble to get the soot off. size them all the next day, final tumble day after to get them shiny.
for rifle brass, say 223 that I do in bulk, I find myself doing batches of 500. quick tumble one day to get the soot off. Size the next day. removed primer pocket crimps day after, trim day after that, then they are ready to load. I used to have several containers and would move them from one to the next as i did a process. but now i put 500 in a plastic shoe box with a 3x5 card and mark off the process as they are completed to that individual batch.
for 30-06 I find myself doing small batches of 50-100. same process but more start to finish in one day maybe 2.
do you guys work in larger batches or work more start to finish? how big are your batches, or what size do you find manageable? or do you run more of an assembly line?
