Depriming made....easy?

[duckknot]

So I just got done sorting a metric shit ton of brass and I'm looking for a quick way to deprime them.....I've always used a progressive but don't currently have mine set up so I was curious what the easiest to use hand depriming tool or shortcut way to deprime a bunch of em!

I want to run them through the sonic cleaner with the primer pocket empty before I store them!

Thank ya ladies and gents!

I just did a bunch the other day with a 1/16" punch. I used a 1/2' socket to set them and and 'thwack'.

Not the quickest way but it's what I had.

The shortcut is to set the progressive back up. The "extra" time spent bolting it back to the bench or however you normally set it up would likely be far shorter than using any hand depriming tool I've ever used. Is there something preventing you from using your progressive?

Don't have a bench/area to set it up on! I used to load on my buddy's press, bought my own then moved to Texas and started school.......don't have the space to set it up yet otherwise I would!

Bolt your press to a chunk of wood and use C clamps to mount it where ever you want. Kitchen counter or table works well until your wife gets home.

Progressive press with case feeder and Lee universal depriming die would be the easiest.

Have not used the harvey deprimer, but seems to have good reviews, in the little bit of searching I did. I have used the Lee hand press. It works well for what it is.

I use the lee hand press while sitting watching TV with the wife. Just remember to empty the old primers before they get into the shell holder.

I use the Lee breech lock hand press or Lee Loader kit to deprime. If i use the Lee loader, just put a towel in your lap, a small 2x6 and go at it.

Academy by me has a spot on the shelf for the hand press but is out......have two weeks off from school and figure this'll help me pass some time!

What calibers duckknot? How much brass?

 

[jrbfishn]

That it would, and it is portable. Academy by me has Lee presses now. First time I ever saw reloading stuff there. I like it.

Killeen? Sweet. About time they got their reloading stuff in.

It will hold about 45 small pistol/rifle primers before it jams up... ask me how I know...

I use the RCBS decapping die on my Rock Chucker press. That die looks just a sizer/decapping die but it has no resizing function. It is super fast and easy. You could set it up on position one of your progressive press.

I'm trying to understand the concept of adding a step to the reloading process.

Why deprime, then resize, when it can be done in one step?

I plan to do it all at once for the calibers I have the decap/resizing die for (all except for 45)

Probably gonna end up finding a way to get my press up and running.......I just dont have a bench built for it!

Some of the brass I get is pretty dirty and only have a hand press. I use a Lee Loader to deprime most brass unless it is clean. Once I get a bench press, probably just sort the dirtiest stuff and use one step. Usually just do it in the recliner watching tv. Priming too. the rest I set up a table and pay attention. Close attention.

Same here.

You can run them on my presses if you want.
