What did you do in the reloading room today?

By caliber?

Rgr that. I have had that box in the center accumulate of the last couple months and figured I was kind of tired belling 9mm and would toss it up and sort the box.

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.

Unless you get a prep station. I have the RCBS and I love it. But it's still time consuming. So drink beer while you ream those critters.

Get a cordless drill and a power adapter. It's what I do every year or so with my accumulated crimped primer pockets.
