That's a good video but I wouldn't be using the HOS and not letting it dry. There be dragons if you do that long enough.
I use a gutted 223 die for the first step. The only problem with the 223 seater is that it will allow the bullet to wobble somewhat and induce run not. Far better to spend the extra $15.00 and use a 20 caliber seater. I use a Redding 204 or a Hornady generic 20 both with micrometer tops.

Yes I agree. It's just a quick video showing how easy it is to size the 223 brass to a 20 Practical, not a reloading video. I personally stand my brass up in tray and spray them from all four sides, trying to get a tiny amount inside of the case necks at the same time. Then let them dry. I've had good luck this way, and get good life out of my brass.
