I size after cleaning, yes it has broken a couple of primer pins but its worth that to finding out the hard way that you did.
I then inspect every round inside and out before starting the process.
I dont use a progressive loader so I use a 50 round block to hold casses when I fill them with powder I do all 50 at once. The advantage of this is I can set the block down and inspece every one again and see if there is a lack of powder or to much.
I know how dangerious this can be, I got hit with the charging handle from an AR15 several years ago, the numnuts standing beside me at the range loadded some 223 with pistol powder.
broke my nose and glasses.
