If my request is inappropriate, just let me know. I don't have the reloading culture down yet. Just like when I first bought a motorcycle, I didn't know it was uncool to ride other people's bikes...or let them ride yours. I got a wierd look the first few times and I learned my lesson quickly.

That being said, in preparation for my first reloading effort, I got some brass that I beleive has a military crimp (still has spent primers). I don't plan on acquiring more of this type of brass but didnt want to start out on my new stuff. If anyone has a Dillon Super Swage, what would it cost to let me come over and de-crimp about 500 cases?

I don't have a super swage, I just use a metal counter sink and a drill press. Gentle touch and crimp-b-gone. I'm glad to help if you want.

Kelly, you got any pics of your setup, and the size you are using on the countersink? I just got a drillpress and would like an easier way!

I use a handheld cordless drill with a home fashioned lee chamfer tool.

just use the deburring tool in the drill press... just like Kelly above suggested.
