I currently reload rifle (.223, .308, 8x57JS) and pistol (.44, .45, 9x19) calibers on a single-stage Rock Chucker, and I also have a Dillon Square-Deal B (auto-indexing progressive) set up for 9x19 that I use for bulk loads.

My question is this: When using a progressive press to load a rifle caliber, do you lube, resize, and clean/delube separately from the rest of the stages?

With that question in mind, what is the best way to use a progressive press to reload rifle cartridges?

thanks
Zak
