Reminds me of something Dan Saks said in his 2016 CppCon talk , how C programmers approached a problem with the initial goal of hacking something together that barely compiled , and then going about doing the real work debugging . <| sep |> Looks like they haven ' t decided on a gender yet <| sep |> Yooooooo ! Teach me your ways woman . I ' ve been wanting to hand embroider stuff on my denim jackets and vests just haven ' t gotten up the courage just yet . YOU AMAZE ME . <| sep |> For me , I ' ve cleaned them and then trimmed , then deprimed on the loading process . For swaged brass , I ' ve just had to deprime only and then swage them all , then trim . Luckily , you only have to swage and trim once . You MAY trim a piece of brass twice . I am considering getting a universal depriming die to allow depriming without doing two rounds of cleaning . I have the Harvey Deprimer right now but it is a little slow .
