Decapping Military Brass
Replied by VTIT on topic Decapping Military Brass
That and I am cheap. It's a good thing to do in the Winter here. Most ranges are closed so I shoot during the Summer and reload during the Winter. I like that I can make just the rounds I want to. Spend a lot of time and reload some accurate "special" rounds or just some plinkers that I can blow off steam with. Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

I too am disabled and got all set to reload,I have a "LOT" of new primed brass for the .308 the 06 .243 and several others.
My biggest problem is " TIME " and My ability to say " NO " and then the resisting the OH Dad,it will really help us out.ok,I`ma sucker.
I do have a bunch loaded and ready but I have`nt been to the range with a chrony yet to see just how well I did.
I use the 'Small Base" die set and I have the digital powder measure which works quite well,but,I also have My balance beam scale set up and I double check every round.I do`nt know if You want to call that "anal" or not,to Me it is Accuracy that counts,and,after all,it is relaxing and takes up a bit more of time,if there is such a thing.

The hydraulic decapper arrived yesterday, even at 14 degrees this morning I had to try it. 
It is well built and comes with two precisely machined rams but only the Pakistani cases would give up their primers. The Radway and FN would bulge the primer but the crimps held fast no matter how big a hammer I used. They sent a sample steel case to show it works on them but times will have to get much tougher before I reload any of that stuff. Figures the brass that looks the best won't give it up. I think I have a plan to use the shell holder portion to fabricate my own tool...........gone too far to turn back now!
