And as soon as you get sick of Lee-Dipping, upgrade to an RCBS powder measure. Will save a lot of aches.

@@Capt_Killingfield I never used the dipper, I used the scale for my loads.

I agree with you completely. Starting with a single stage press allows the new reloader to develop a solid understanding of the reloading process. Speed is never as important as accuracy. Cheers!

@@sherlock1895 I also found the whole process relaxing. This is how I did it most of the time. Day one, get home from the range, throw the brass in the ultrasonic cleaner while I cleaned my guns. Next day, de cap, reshape and inspect cases. I did 150-200 rounds at a time, so that could take at least an hour sometimes even more with each caliber. Next day, recap and finish loading process. That's assuming I'm only doing one caliber at a time. If I'm doing all three calibers each one is the same process. I could do 9mm the first couple days, .38 the next couple, .357 the next couple. I loaded a lot less .357 than 9mm and .38. All in all I liked loading as much as shooting. Sadly I ran into some health issues and I had to give it up. The place I live now is strictly anti gun.

Can you make your own powder? Or is it regulated?

I find it's the smells that really bring me back. I learned to reload with my grandfather in the 70s and his whole shop smelled of Hoppes and gunpowder, such a wonderful combination. I don't use hoppes anymore for anything but I keep a bottle just to open it and sail bak in time for a bit. Old .22 ammo in the cardboard boxes had a real distinct smell "back in the day" too. Hopefully yours were good memories also!!

@@High_Caliber, Sorry I missed your reply from a month ago, but I agree. It’s the smells of certain things that trigger memories. This is a primal thing we humans have and it’s more acute than sight or hearing because that can be situational and therefore abstract, when triggering a memory. Smells though, are concrete in their meaning. The smell of cordite triggers vivid memories in soldiers where the sight and sound of a gun, doesn’t. Your Hoppes memory is forever like many other smells associated with a time and place. The funny part is, it’s hard to remember which smells bring back memories. They just do, automatically. The smell is subconsciously recorded in your brain. Years later, that certain smell will trigger a memory that you may have consciously forgotten. But bam! There’s that smell and you’re back to where you smelled it first. The smell is related to a time and place. I find that fascinating. We’ve all heard stories of dogs being put on an airplane and flew hundred of miles, only to be lost somehow in baggage. Yet they walked home. It’s hard to believe they are navigating by magnetic means like birds, because they’ve never traveled this course before. A dog’s sense of smell is 20’000 times greater than ours, if the scientists are correct. Maybe it’s a million times better? We’ll never know. Maybe they “smelled” their way home. It’s hard for a human brain to grasp but it might be true anyway. What humans have by comparison is, you smell something in very close proximity and you’re immediately back at that place in your mind. Could be anything. Grandma’s biscuits that are decidedly different from all other biscuits. There’s a subtle difference your brain remembers and it might be the same ingredients but mixed in different proportions. So the new biscuits you smell are just a reminder but not the real thing. Your brain remembers things in exact detail even though you can’t describe the details explaining why you know these biscuits are close, but not exactly right. Our sense of smell is more general and not so specific. We couldn’t find our way from hundreds of miles, walking through towns where just similar biscuits are being baked, to find gramma’s exact biscuits. A dog can. Plus, they can smell the person behind the biscuits. Maybe where they walked last? So for us, it’s common smells that hold meaning. For me, I guess it’s things like certain oils, certain flowers, maybe steel being ground, certain brands of soap, gunpowder, copper solvent, and all that common stuff. Those aromas just trigger memories, they aren’t all that complicated. You’ll find them in certain places that are common but not specific exactly. Where a dog will smell his way across the country to a specific person, ignoring every interfering smell. Sorry I got on a tangent about dogs. I just love them. Peace and aloha my friend.

I used to really like 'how it's made'. Probably had a subliminal effect. The rest was likely attributable to the whiskey. Cheers!

One of my best friends is a retired LEO, and I got him into reloading for competition. It's just SO hard to fire off 1000 rounds in practice if you are countring the cost in boxes of 50. Once you have the brass (and hopefully you hoarded some or still have a contact at your old range), it's really really inexpensive to keep shooting indefinitely. For me the cost of 9mm has paid for the reloading rig 10 times over, but the real saving was in the cost of .223, which around here was over $1 per round.

It's a fantastic hobby. I'll have to admit that I enjoy the reloading process sometimes more than the actual shooting. To take a pile of components and form them into something useful has a healthy helping of 'sense of accomplishment'. If you can put together a great combination for your personal rifle, a "secret recipe" that produces sub MOA ammo, it adds another layer to it all. Plus, it takes up less room than model railroading... :)

Indeed I do. It's something structured, slow paced and methodical, and it takes all of your attention (I actually broke down the rounds I made during this, because I was concentrating more on the camera than what I'm doing). I really do just want to share the love of firearms and the whole hobby, presenting it in a non politicized (or macho) way... and you sir picked up on it. Cheers!!!

I work a very stressful area of medicine (largely end of life) and have found both reloading and shooting to be precisely what I have needed over the years. It's like anything you focus on with a desired outcome whether it's sports, hobbies like collecting or building things or reloading and shooting. To be able to take something from start to finish and see the results is very rewarding.

@@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor I worked in pediatric oncology for a while. Both bad and good memories of that time. so perhaps that's part of the appeal. I've often thought I'd get into model trains too at some point, I just haven't had that much free time yet.

@@High_Caliber I did half a dozen years in pediatrics, I can understand how you put it. I have stated if I were to leave where I'm at it would be to return to pediatrics. It doesn't help that the head of pediatrics knows that, he keeps telling me each time a position opens (I work with his wife and she told him). I do 12 hour days 5 days a week and about 1 weekend a month. I go shooting about once every two months and reload about once a month. The thing is, both shooting and reloading have similar effectiveness in reducing my stress so it works. Model trains would be fun. I also build guns occasionally.

It is very relaxing. And the end result is always fun, going to the range and shooting your reloads!!

I was lucky enough to have ordered by the case lot right after the LAST ammo shortage. I'll do the same once stock starts flowing in again, but yeah it's been brutal.

Very interested in reloading x39 thank you!

@@dotcombust7744 Me too, I had to put the M10x through the paces, and she made a lot of brass before the firing pin went. I believe I will have it done for a week this Friday. Cheers and keep plinking!!!

Well thank you for the novella! I also took a decade or a bit more away from the hobby, left for the politics, returned because I realize politics are a constant and never going to improve. As for reading material, I used to use a speer reloading manual as the bible "in the day", then when I jumped back in I grabbed the latest Hornady manual, however, the hodgdon website has many more weights of bullets, and they update a lot of the "newer" powders. So really...online is probably your best resource. As for what you need to put together depends on what you want to shoot. I do mostly 3-gun, which currently for me is 147g 9mm, 55gr .223 and just bulk-lot federal 12ga ammo. Thing to consider these days is that at some competitions, they are going to chrony your handloads, so you have to keep them within the parameters more than you ever did "back in the day". So there is a LOT to consider, BUT also many more resources. Best of luck, and welcome to the channel ;)

Well thank you. There are more like this coming. Just did a big move and just surviving has taken a LOT of my free time and energy. I have a dozen more calibers to do, but until I have the time to first go shooting, I don't have the brass to process into more 'new' rounds :)

Thank you! We're in the middle of a big move, but have no plans to stop these kinds of videos, they're fun to make. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

Thanks 👍

There is a certain appeal to there being consequences to doing a task improperly, it somehow makes successful completion have an even higher "sense of accomplishment" when done correctly. This isn't really AT ALL an in depth tutorial of the process (obviously), because I think you're likely the kind of person who understands when I say you really never learn something by simply being shown, you have to do it yourself, on your own, to lock in the nuances. I get the odd "this is a shit tutorial!" comment, but those are definitely not the kind of people I want to be teaching something as hazardous as reloading. This isn't a hobby that you can pick up in 5 minutes on tik tok . Anyway, glad you enjoyed it, and feel free to ask questions as you progress. "It's not rocket science, but it's also not making popsicles" ;)

It is indeed.

I have a block somewhere (lyman?) that checks these as well, but I kind of gave up using it after a few thousand rounds, as long as the steps are followed it honestly is kind of hard to screw the process up :)

You're very welcome, cheers!!

Glad you enjoyed it

Just remember it's an ecclectic mess of content. I moved 6 months ago to the forest and it's been...challenging. I don't plan to stop videos like these, plus other content now that I have unlimited space to work in though :)

@HIGH CALIBER well I appreciate all the content, especially as I transition from reloading pistol to rifle. Huge help! I'm a little envious about your move to the hills! I'll have to watch your rocky mountain series, see what's up.

You should have your license, arsenal and reloading setup by now.

I actually buy them by the case lot lol. Shooting is a crazy addictive hobby. I think a healthy heroin addiction would be cheaper (but less fun). Cheers and keep plinking brother!!

@@High_Caliber also wouldn't be a positive steal of your life. Can't sell all the dope you did but can def let go of some guns if need be. Seem to be always gaining value now too

I think you can use small rifle primers instead of small pistol, look it up, they just have little bit thicker cups, and have to make sure your firearm will work with them

I add most of them to thingiverse, but you'd need access to a 3d printer. I don't do anything on the channel for money (as you can tell by my questionable posting schedule and all over the place format!) :) www.thingiverse.com/high_caliber/designs Cheers!!

@@High_Caliber Thanks!!! I’ll print some of them. I have some printers here and my KZfaq vídeos are all about 3D Printing, filament testing, etc.

YOU get it. It's ASMR for gun nutz. Production has been sidelined by a big move (bigger than I expected), but I have so many more calibers to do, and so many more guns to break down. I haven't perfected the formula (yet), but I look at these and go "would I sit with a scotch or a blunt and watch this?".

¡De nada! Es un gran pasatiempo y muy divertido. Disfruto recargando casi tanto como los disparos..4acp y.44 mag son mis favoritos para recargar. ¡Me alegro mucho de que te haya gustado! ¡Bien!

The nerd in me loves making them ;)

Yeah ! "dried soy boy tears" LMAO

Thank you! :)

There's many more calibers to do, just finding the time to do the filming and production. They're in the pipe though, glad you enjoyed it :)

@@High_Caliber I have been reloading for over nearly four decades. I look forward to your other videos!

What has been seen, cannot be unseen!

And for those who question why Im gathering data. I have memory issues. Yes, I'm legally allowed to own a firearm and ammo for said firearm.

KZfaq is BRUTAL about these videos. They've already been demonetized completely (but I'm sure THEY still run ads on it), and they have told me I won't show up in most searches or suggested videos.

Each die set is different, but a good starting point is to raise the plate up to the top, and bring all the dies down flush to that, and from there, you have to start doing it with brass in place, and slowly, adjust each until each "station" is doing it's part with one pull of the lever, if that makes sense. I also buy locking rings for the dies, so that once I have them set, they won't "wander" too much. Feel free to ask questions, I've run a heck of a lot of rounds through this press since I upgraded from the lee single stage. :)

Well met! Cheers and salutations from the great white north of Canada. Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers! :)

Well you are welcome!

Thank you. It's a labor of love for sure making sure these things run correctly! :)

@@High_Caliber Took me time to set up my pro 1000 but as it stands now, it is working like a Swiss watch, or better. Regards for now.

Oh I hear you brother. I had to order by the case, and I'm being literal. A CASE of primers, in each of what I needed. Small rifle, large rifle, small pistol. Even a year ago, that cost some $$. Adding all the bullets to the order made the shipping $ crazy, but at the end of the day, a click=paperweight, and with the way the world is going, primers are more important that 401K. :)

That IS a rock tumbler! :) Harbor freight, 2 container rock tumbler. I also had one as a kid, but it was a small plastic thing, didn't do much more than make noise.

@@High_Caliber mine was metal,(the machine) the rock holders was thick plastic, and had a big rubberband that covered the whole tumbler. wasnt to terrible loud..worked great on rocks...i think it was from sears,

I tried! His prices are OUT RAGEOUS ;)

I buy them by the crate, so I'm probably the richest hoarder in the world now ;)

I -just- this second finished building the new reloading bench/area. I now have almost 2 solid inches of countertop to bolt into, and the bench itself was out of a machine shop. I knew that setup was temporary until we moved. As a bonus, I can now record a vid on reloading .22 hornet, because I've never done any, and I just bought a new rifle in .22 hornet. So do check back. Cheers!!!!

@@High_Caliber Love 22 hornet! Addicted (officially)! I've loaded and shot a Browning A-Bolt, Anschutz Exemplar pistol and own a Ruger 77/22H a beautiful Ruger #1 and stupidly sold a very old Savage single shot break open rifle. It was very well made with ZERO slop in the action. Excellent news on the bench. I wish I could share some loads but I have data on old lots of H110 powder with old lots of Federal 205m primers (I have enough for a lifetime) in Win brass (brass effects max charges in the hornet!) with moly coated 40gr Vmax bullets (which require more powder) so I'm over book maximums. the factory Hornady 35gr loaded ammo was hilariously accurate for me also. Watch out for the thin case necks if you use the progressive press, no big deal once you get used to it. Next time you load a pistol round with a taper crimp please show everyone how you set the crimp/seat die. I remember I had a hell of a time with pre-primed factory Nosler 40 S&W brass 'till I figured out Nosler shipped them with no neck tension, had to size part way with a carbide die with primer pin removed then bell the mouth & all was good. Thanks for not shooting another "talking head shot" video.

I have a 6.5 creedmore video filmed, but youtube has been really putting on the pressure lately, basically telling me that gun related videos will not be on the platform for much longer, and that I should "branch out" if I want to remain on the platform. They demonetized every video and shut my adsense account without any notification (and no strikes or anything), so it's kind of hard to justify doing any more videos on this platform until the wokeness dies. If I had a channel dedicated to men in dresses stripping for infants, then I would be fully supported by YT. Kind of tells you where their morals are.

@@High_Caliber lol yea that’s pretty much sums it up. Understandable

The case feeder is free on thingiverse, although I think the designer sells completed kits as well: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2488944 Once it's dialed in, it works almost flawlessly, I've used it for 9mm and .223, and combined with that bullet drop, it's almost an ammo factory :)

I have exactly this. I do prefer to de-prime on the single stage, because you can better feel if there is a foreign body in the case, like a rock. I've broken more than my fair share of decapping pins in my day, so I kind of have a groove I get into, and often I can "feel" if a case is really damaged or split (if I didn't see it). The progressive decaps/resizes much more quickly, but as said, leads to more broken parts and missed bad cases. If I didn't process the brass, I'd just run it all on the progressive, decap/resize, then re-prime and load, but I found more issues with the flash holes that way, and more misfires, which isn't good for competition. If new... just be very very very careful. I suggest to most newbs to start with the single stage so that you get a real feel for what is involved in the process, then move up to a progressive after your 10,000th round (or so). Especially with 10's, that cartridge has a hell of a punch.

I tried that, the damn powder kept getting soggy!

Everyone should know how to shoot properly/safely, care for their firearms, and reload their own ammunition, which is what I'm trying to show in this series. Plus, it's fun :)

It's a great hobby. When I place well in a competition, with a gun that I've tweaked, and ammo that I've reloaded, I get a heck of a feeling of accomplishment. I can't recommend it enough!

It's really personal preference. I shoot bulk bullets even in matches, but I do have friends that swear by "brand name" bullets. I find it's more important to find a gun that you shoot well. I can't shoot a glock well for the life of me, but have no issues with a 9mm colt or the CZs. The only reason I shoot 147gr bullets is for the steel targets and poppers. Hope that helps!

AOL is america online ;) OAL and COL are interchangeable terms, that's how I've always thought of it, whereas I have seen people talk about OAL when talking about the different height/shape of bullets. The MAX COL that a loaded 9mm bullet can be is 1.169". Meaning anything longer than that will likely have issues with loading and feeding. So loading short of that is fine, ALTHOUGH at a certain point you will again have feeding issues, and you are changing the size of the case combustion chamber, so your numbers for pressure and velocity might change. Basically a hollow point bullet has to put the material somewhere, so you might load the bullet a little proud of your normal loading depth of 1.130" for example. I load at ~1.131 because that feeds reliably in my shadows, and I always buy the same 147gr bullets. Also, some bullets weigh a lot less, so seating them the same depth in the case will result in a shorter OAL/COL. Hopefully that makes sense, I'm typing this on my phone in a parking lot! :)

I have a video in the works about the tears, I'm finally set up to make videos again... The mix is water, green palmolive dish soap (just a dollop!) and of course you can't get the shine without a shake or two of those tears. Stay tuned ;)

Lol, The case feeder is free on thingiverse, although I think the designer sells completed kits as well: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2488944 As for primers... I order them by the case, and I lucked out and did that just before the shortage...ordered 9mm bullets at the same time, so I just lucked out. The press is fantastic. I don't really have any major complaints about it at all. Couple of small things, but it just cranks out consistent rounds, really hard to hate on it at all. Cheers!!

I have a lee single stage and a hornady pnp progressive press. Generally I use the progressive for bulk (lots of .223 or .45), and the single stage for precision rounds, or things I only need a few of. Either will work, and it's best to learn on a single stage is my thought, it makes you pay attention to each step so you get a real feel for the process.

I personally only separate out ppu brass because I like it for IPSC rounds, but otherwise I just mix n match.

On rifle cases, I would only chamfer if I had trimmed them, and I'll be honest, been reloading 9mm since the late 70s, and have never trimmed a pistol case. Now if you mean flaring, you do have to flare the case mouth on the pistol brass or you could crush cases when trying to seat the bullet. So for me it's deprime, clean, flare, prime, powder, seat, crimp. I also only kiss the cases with the taper crimp die, just to uniform the brass, and I really only started doing that step after I started competing and really want to minimize any malfunctions while running matches. Hopefully that answers the question, and welcome to the wonderful world of freedom from ammo shortages :)

@@High_Caliber thank you very much. And yes you answered my question. The Brownell guys said they never resized 9mm either. Priming some nines right now ;-)

@@High_Caliber So I have the Lee factory crimp die and not sure how far down I need to crimp. Seems like I need to to go all the way down the cartridge for it to chamber.

My channel name is mostly ironic for obvious reasons ;)

Nothing wrong with Dillon, that's for sure. I used to prefer their die sets "in the day" but when I went to re-equip years later their prices were just too much. The bullet feeder was extra, but the case feeder was 3d printed, so very inexpensive (and works great!).

Very good eye. Some of us really hate it when the officials chrono our ammo. You win the clever award today smartguy. Well done. :)

The case feeder is free on thingiverse, although I think the designer sells completed kits as well: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2488944 The dried soyboy tears is lemi shine for dishwashers ;)

@@High_Caliber Thanks!

3d printed, that design was direct from thingiverse. www.thingiverse.com/search?q=battlebox&type=things&sort=relevant

I reload them until they split. How many times you can reload depends on the brass. Winchester brass I find splits after ~4 reloads, PPU is much longer lasting, and most federal stuff lasts well. It is important to inspect each piece prior to loading, but as long as you are attentive, you usually will catch any that you miss during the cleaning, when you are seating a bullet.

@@High_Caliber Thank you for the answer

I will post a link... the design works great, EXCEPT I made a miscalculation and 2 of the bullets bump into the lid. I've been prepping for a cross continent move so haven't had the time to tweak it... but it's on the todo list (along with a lot of other calibers). I'll post the link here shortly, but just know it's a 48-round carrier ;)

www.thingiverse.com/thing:4972113 Remember, it needs a tweak, and the lid is pretty tight, but they do fit with a little elbow grease, and the lid shouldn't just slide off. V2 will have a few refinements, it's just finding the time :)

I just realized I didn't use my fancy schmantzy new design in this vid, I used another one... Here is a link to the one seen at the end of the vid: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2267403

The Hornady manual uses the term CASE overall length, but I tend to agree with you, that it's the CARTRIDGE overall length, because it also includes the bullet. There's also some who use OAL instead of COL. Everyone has their own thing, but I don't think you're wrong at all.

I buy in crazy quantities, so I'm still running on 2016 prices, if that makes sense. The bullets are bulk, and I'm not buying brass anymore, so I'm at ~11¢ a round. Reloading 9 only makes sense if you're shooting a lot, otherwise buying some bulk ammo, and not buying the press, would be more sensible. The real savings come in with the rifle rounds.

Call first, the dogs are not friendly.

@@High_Caliber 😂 I wish there was a class for this stuff. Its much easier to make a pipe bomb than to prime bullets, in my opinion

I have tried reloading .22 lr by making primer powder, and I imagine that would be as much fun as rebuilding primers :) I haven't gone into the SHTF prepping level of reloading yet. I'm more of a "have more ammunition than you can use in a year of frequent shooting, and keep enough components on hand for a couple of years of frequent shooting, then if you have to conserve, you're set. I mean, my eyes aren't going to be happy if I have to start reloading primers with caps! I'd actually want to figure out how to make smokeless powder from components, but I think that it's probably a) dangerous to just start trying to make gunpowder, and b) probably something youtube would come down like a pile of bricks over. As well, I've never had to resize pistol brass, I find it just fails and splits instead of stretching like bottleneck brass. Excellent comment through, have a great weekend!!

Yes! In the video description I listed out everything I think :)

IT all depends on the region you're in. In cities with increasing crime rates, ammo is scarce, but that also creates shortages in other regions as manufacturing struggles to keep up with demand. 9mm is a popular round because almost anyone can shoot it confortably and accurately. As for choice of pistol, if you can find a shop that lets you try-before-you-buy, just shoot a few until you find something that feels "good" to you, and then see if you can shoot it relatively accurately. (LOTS of videos on YT about proper shooting technique). I've been shooting for years and still can't make a glock group well for me, but a CZ or a good 1911 I have no problem with, yet I know people who can shoot a glock like a laser.

Where I am at in the Midwest ammo is readily available at all times. Still pretty pricey though.

1000 rnds of anything can be found online. Skip the local guys if they are out. So much misinformation out there.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a lefty loader. The hornady one is forged in right hand mode only, with the left hand feeding in the brass, there's no easy way to reverse it. On the Lee it's probably possible to reverse the lever, although I have had trouble trying to strip mine down to give it a much overdue cleaning so not sure.

Harbor freight rock tumbeler, stainless steel pins, and you can use a mix of 1 drop of green palmolive dish liquid, and if you can't dry your own soyboy tears, you can substitute lemi-shine dishwasher cleaner. Starbucks has made some new rules about making their patrons cry just for their tears, so they have been harder to get as of late.

How would you clean them with the tarn-x? It would likely shine them up well, but you wouldn't want to so each one individually. I used to use a dry tumbler years ago, but then I had a blood test done and the lead levels in my blood were concerning, so I took steps to keep contact and dust to a minimum, so wet tumbling is perfect. It's harder to use than the dry tumbling, but no airborne lead is a huge bonus.

@@High_Caliber Tarn-X is instant, drop a dirty penny or a dirty key blank in see how fast it works, rinse , dry, repeat.

Well...with the new shortages, and some shenanigans, I almost think that it's going to be cheaper to buy pre-loaded for the next while. I have stockpiles, but people buying today are paying INSANE prices for powder and primers. :(

I wish I could recall how my grandfather did it. He had some nice brass but by the time my interest really piqued he was already gone. Years of PTSD and war wounds take their toll. He likely had a really simple method too, he didn't like to "fart around" too much.

@@High_Caliber I remember my grandfathers. Very simple. Wash with soap and water rinse off and let dry. No need to driers, media, etc. Usually did on a Tuesday night and we were good to go on Friday night! Loaded very precise powder grain, bullet type and grain, and shot each one multiple times to find which one our guns liked. I bought a .308 and was throwing them out beyond 800y in competition. And reloaded again. Knew exactly how what where each shot would preform at any distance from 50y to 1000y. Still have my logs from when I competed. Still use them today but have adjusted for modern powders, bullets, and casings. My 5 year old loves to deprime them. I reload 9mm, 270, 308, 30-06, 44mag, 357 mag and some others for friends who want to learn. And I'm in my mind 40s and still keeping the family tradition alive! On the holidays "The boys would reload, solve the problems of the world, reload more and then range time! The smell of gun powder so early in the morning..... aahhhhh.

I did a separate video dedicated to the joy of brass polishing. From my perspective, the only time it's REALLY a PITA is with narrow neck rifle brass, because the pins get inside and don't want to come out. However, I have discovered that if I remove all the loose pins, then put the pin filled brass back in and tumble for a bit in justr water, that 90% will work themselves out. With pistol brass, it's not an issue, and with the amount of rounds I go through during competition season, I just do mass batches over the course of a couple of days.

@@High_Caliber Do you have a link to that video? Most likely it's in your video upload page but I'll have to check and verify~

Get southern shine media!! It is small tear drop size Ss media and it never gets stuck in any case size and cleans the primer pocket spotless!! That’s one less step on cleaning out the pocket.. You’ll love it!
