I do all my brass prep for once fired brass first (trim, remove primer crimp, if applicable, debur flash hole, seperate cases) and after that, I just use the 550 and load progressively. I did swap out the dillon powder measure for a RCBS powder measurer, that I manually operate, because I use H335 ball powder. I still get 300 plus rounds and hour. I load 1.5 grains under max and can get 5X firings out of my AR and up to 7X out of my Rem 700. Good luck.
