    The FW Arms decapper just blows right through the small flash hole swaging it to a normal size. I have to adjust the torque settings up a bit so my autodrive doesent shut off.

    Have been looking at that decapper when processing large amounts myself. Knowing it will also smash thru the flash hole is a huge plus.

    FW Arms makes two sized pins. Large and small. The small fits fine in Norma brass and the large swages them up to normal spec.

    However the small pin will sometime puncture the primer if the brass is tightly crimped in place.

    Do you use their popper or just the normal decapper?

    Both. The popper is much better.

    The popper gets used on my 9mm, 45, 223 and 308 processing toolheads. Basically anywhere that I might get a crimped in primer.

    So, it can "fix" Berdan cases?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    They do punch through, but I just toss that junk in the scrap heap.
