Yeah, case prep is often the most time-consuming step. Fortunately, it only needs to be done once every several reloads. I find that I almost NEVER have to trim. I run new brass through the trimmer set to minimum specs. Neck-sizing only, I've never found any brass that needed re-trimming. Same with deburr/chamfer - once only. You don't need to chamfer again until you trim again, and I don't normally have to do that.

"...don't have a single hunter in my family..." Ditto. Wanted to shoot and hunt so I did some research, before there was such a thing as the Internet or home computers for that matter and the rest is history. Even got past the 'no guns in my house' stuff my ma said.
My reloading mentor taught me how to load quickly with a single stage press. It was in the gun shop I worked in long ago. The boss said do that pile of brass. Showed me the technique of having bins on either side and using both hands.
Relax Stewie. We're here for you if you have any questions.
"...you get better accuracy..." Exactly. No factory ammo will shoot as well in your rifle the way ammo tailored for it will. Although factory is far better than it used to be, it's still far more expensive per 20 than reloading will ever be.
