My Method For Making 300/221 Brass

Well my suppressor and SBR paperwork is pending so to keep myself busy I am playing around with making some 300/221 brass.

I bought a set of Redding FL, neck, and seater dies.

I bought a Bench Top Cut-Off Saw to cut down my 223 brass after running through the neck sizing die without the stem.

Then I FL resize with the 308 expander in it.

I then trim with a custom Possum Hollow trimmer I just received.

So far the process isn't too bad but I need to wait until I get a barrel to do large runs.

I am practicing on some old 223 brass that has loose primer pockets.

Any issues you guys can see with my steps?

Thanks
