Bruce is bang on (Pun) with the handling of your brass the more you handle it whilst checking it over the more you see and after its done the rounds it gets finally to the press loaded inspected again wiped over with a clean rag and then stored ready for the range or hunt don't matter.
If your just an average shooter hunter then you won't load the hundrds of rounds some of us do a year but the process is the same for all there ain't no skimping on it your playing with enormous forces a few inces from your beak and face with the result if it lets go the damage to you could be catastophic to say the least.
I run my 6.5 x 284 reasonably hot about 2900Fps with 140Gn VLD Bergers or 143Gn Hornady ELD X's and its in around @53 - 55,000's PSI so its a fait bit of oomph going on up front.
So learn from what those of us that have trudged the path of discovery with reloading as I am quite an*l about all my ammo hunting or target it has to be the best I can possibly make to get consistent hits or groups because if you do not take the care and be a bit slappy happy howdy doo-dee with it your gunna come a cropper and I or us here do not want that at all.
Advice is free gaining the knowledge to give that advice is a very expensive pass time indeed wish computers were around like this 43 years ago would have saved allot of us here $'s and headaches.................
