Finally have my 650 dialed in and rolling out some 9mm. I cranked out 1200 so far and have to admit that this press is the shit!!!!

I hear ya. it's one of the reasons i avoid looking at a 1050. Logistics and money, do not justify a 1050, YET!Quote:

I stared at my bench because I have no powder. Very productive day.

My brother in TX has a stainless polishing kit, and he recently did a Large Flat Rate box completely full of .30-06 brass for me. Beautiful stuff! So I've been lubing and sizing them. Got all the Match and Commercial cases done, and am now going through the milsurps cutting out the primer crimps.
I have a nifty rig setup to do them very quickly, thinking about making a short video on it. Essentially, I use a Hornady cutter in a drill, and have the drill clamped stationary and the trigger rigged to run on "slow", kinda like a tiny lathe. I just turn it on and stick the cases on the cutter for second or two, whips 'em right out.
And for lubing, I have a big plastic tray made to set house plants on for watering, I just line up the cases in rows and hose 'em down with One Shot. I can do a couple hundred '06 cases at a time that way. Can do a shitload of .223's like that.
I'm new to reloading rifle cartridges so pardon my naievty, but can you remove primer crimps with a 30 degree chamfer tool or does it need to be swaged?
You can... you'll just wind up feeling like you have rheumatoid arthritis in 15 minutes.Quote:
