My least favorite part about reloading is triming the brass. Right now I use a Lee zip trim and a ball grip cutter, and champfer and deburr the case mouth. I can do the entire loading process in the time it takes to trim. Do any of you have a specific sequence that makes it quicker? I'm looking about getting into loading semi-comercially to sell at gunshows and the like and am looking for ways to speed things up a bit. Thanks for any sugestions!

Also, how many times can you fire straght-walled cases before you need to trim again for 223 and 30-06?
