Don't understand this one.

I stated "brass slug" to simplify, to change the "perspective". Many of the reloading methods are just simple metal working, but many get confused and perhaps think there is something mysterious, unique about reloading steps. Basically, as I said, a brass slug, as a cylindrical metal slug (or if you prefer, a brass jacketed lead slug) is pressed into a brass tube (or cartridge case) mechanically. Nothing mysterious, nothing complicated. Sometimes it's best to step back, rethink in a simpler way, then continue. AKA K.I.S.S.

Yes RD, that's one of my concerns here. I should not have commented. We went from lubing bullets to seat them more consistently to tumbling practices in a blink of an eye now we're on to brass bullets.

No I said brass slug as a cylindrical solid slug. I used the term slug to remove the concept away from "reloading" jargon to a simpler to understand idea; shoving a brass slug into a brass tube. Trying to simplify an idea to make it easier to understand; bullet seating is nothing more than pushing a slug (not a "slug" as a bullet) into a tube. If one can understand the simplicity of this idea, bullet seating is profoundly easier, no mysterious "reloading" process, just a simple mechanical operation...

I'm done...
