I do the tumble before I decap them, but this video made me realize I can just pull the decapper out of my resizing die, resize them first, then toss them to the tumbler before I use my universal decapper. It was so obvious I missed it
Interesting video. You might give the Lee push-thru sizer die a chance. I've found they seat the gas check evenly and squarely every time; sometimes the lubri-sizers don't get them seated squarely (maybe operator error!). But, with the Lee, applying lube is another step to perform. But that's OK with me. I have a 458 (Ruger Number One) and shoot a lot of cast bullets in it.
It's IMR 4198, NOT 4891. I myself use H4198 for a 500gr Lee Cast GC in 458 Win Mag. for medium velocity loads. For the heavy Hornady 500gr jacketed, I use Hodgdon Varget, as it gives excellent velocity with minimal compression and lower pressures than either H322 or H4895

U can never have to much ammo

We cast our own 470 500 and 510 bullets
darn right
