What's your least favorite reloading step and what have you done to make it easier or faster? Or, what's something you adopted that made a big difference, like brass organization, or die/tool storage, or documenting load development and results?

I haven't had much time to load or shoot lately, so I've been pondering ways to simplify and organize.

Brass prep - always where you need to do it right.

Agree with brass prep, and its that step to decide to toss or keep questionable brass.

trimming/chamfering but I do it by hand along with measuring in an old go/no go slot gauge. But I only load 2-300 a year.

Case lubing for rifle loads. I switched to the wax a few years ago and it’s a lot better. I don’t know why they can’t make rifle dies like pistols.
I don’t reload a ton but wouldn’t mind not have to do that step.

Alcohol and lanolin in a baggie, toss in some rifle brass and massage well. Dump out and let dry. Works for some but I prefer hand lubing 308 brass.
