Chamfer cuz it hurts my hands.
LOLi hate the look on my wifes face, when i mention im off to the gun shop
And those are great things to hate.I hate cleaning my rifle, work getting in the way of shooting time, bank telling me I don't have enough money to travel to every match I want no matter where it is, shooting a 9, fire forming brass, having to drive 50 miles to the range...
Just a few things.

It would take weeks for me to prep my .223 and .308 brassI hate that I don’t have enough self discipline to prep every fired case I have on hand, instead of just 10-20 at a time.
After all, it would only take a couple days or so… maybe 3. Four at the most. No more than 5 tops…
What really sucks is when you tip the bottles back not knowing you left the plugs out.Sometimes metallic handloading is just plain tedious. I can't say I hate it, but at times it's sure not intellectually rewarding. Mindless.
I do detest loading shotshells, though. Did it, hate it, and quit. To me, a shotshell only needs to go "bang" and spray a cloud of shot. A shotgun is little more than a hunk of conduit screwed to a 2x4.Real shotgunners can call me a heretic, but I stopped using my MEC years ago. It gathered dust and I eventually sold it. Instead I just buy cheap shotshells. Not that I'm much of a shotgunner, but the urge to break things visits now and then. Fortunately, it subsides when the weather turns sucky.

A follow-up and another thanks to @64Rambler. I had a chance to try my new Forster 3-way trimmers today. I am very pleased! Trimming is done the same way as with the old-school Forster cutter, but you get a 3-fer! Trim the case and it's also nicely chamfered inside and outside. Woo Hoo!Thanks for the tip @64Rambler ! Forster has them on sale for $81 right now. I have a .22, 6mm and .308 on order. Trimming cases isn't fun, and chamfering is even less so. This should help!
