If you buy all new brass do you still need to tumble and clean them?

I have the 4 hole and like it fine. Mine is just the press without all of the gadgetry. I de cap/resize as one process. I prime as one process. I leave the rod out and manually rotate the turret to seat and crimp. As far as the brass goes I would just load the pistol brass but, I would resize new rifle brass and check it for OAL before loading.

4 hole.

Why?

Because some die sets use 4 dies. resizing and decapping, bullet seating, factory crimp, powder charging or even a case trimming die for the lee zip trim.

Better to have too many spots to fill than not enough

Get the cast iron Classic four hole.. it'll last a lifetime.
I often don't use the fourth station in auto-advance mode but big whoop.. it's a fine press.
