Finally got my AR. Now I'm trying to decide whether to reload for it. I've reloaded for my .30-06 and .38 spl for decades. Bulk loading for the .38 spl is easy because I use a carbide die… no lubing cases. The .30-06 isn't too bad because I never load more than 50 at a time. I still lube those cases on a pad and have to wipe each after sizing. That's a pain, but there are never that many.

The thought of lubing and wiping enough cases to feed my AR is intimidating. I admit I haven't kept up with the latest gadgets and techniques. So how does one simplify the process to allow high volume loading?

Thanks!
