    I make my own case holders custom to each of my cases. Prepped 50 rounds today.

    I see an "old school" reloading bench set up. I used to make my own case holders too. In the seventies, shooting Bullseye and bench rest matches, it was enough. Once I started PPC and later IPSC, I had to get my wife to help in order to make enough ammo between matches. That was enough to ok a Dillon somewhere around '88. I still have a Lyman turret press for odd calibers but most get done on the Dillon.

    If it works for you, that is great.

    But I never saw the reason to load this way.

    I clean, size, prime. Then I pick up a case, charge it with power, then seat the bullet. Done.

    Very little chance of double charging, as you only handle each case once for powder and bullet.
