I never looked at depriming as an extra step since I remove it before wet tumbling and annealing anyway. But still a good idea for those who don’t
@garysreloadingroom2 күн бұрын
I appreciate that you don't dictate one process as the only process. I watched Greg's video, and it made a lot of sense, although my process is a bit different. I deprime, clean (wet with small SS pieces rather than pins), lube and full length size (w/o button), trim, clean again to remove any shavings from the trimming. In an effort to get more consistent bullet seating (and release), I dip the necks into Imperial Dry Neck Lube, and run over a neck mandrel. I then use a nylon brush to run through the necks. My thought is that it will distribute the Imperial Dry Neck Lube in a consistent manner to the inside of the necks. This will differ from Greg's process, and unfortunately I don't have an AMP press to determine if brushing the Dry Neck Lube actually results in consistent seating pressure, as I just have to go on "feel". My ES and SD's seem to indicate that the process is working, but who knows.

That is a good tip. I purchased one of those anvils and carefully drilled out the center so the primer wouldn’t be touching. The only problem is that the anvil surface isn’t perpendicular to the comparator. I gave up and started using my hand decapper.

Lot of guys tumble with the primer in for a couple reasons; steel pins get stuck in flash holes and/or protects primer pockets from being damaged by pins. Edit: there may be other reasons but I don't know them.

@@whitesturgeon believe me, I am not an advocate for wet tumbling with pins. But a lot of KZfaq reloading nerds are. Most people who do that only do it because they saw some "expert" on YT doing it. They've never bothered to just dump their straight wall cases into the corncob before they go to bed and then see how shiny it is in the morning. Meanwhile, the guy who makes, markets and distributes the pins is laughing all the way to the bank, muttering something about "suckers". Haha

Those whole point of this tip was so that you DON"T have to de-cap first... decapping is the final part of my brass prep. My order is tumble, anneal, size, expand, tumble again to remove lube, trim, then decap. The purpose behind this is if you decap after the first tumbling, then you have to worry about making sure flash holes are cleared after the second tumbling & trimming... if you decap last, then the pin is clearing out any media/cuttings in the flash holes for you before re-priming.

Curious- Using your example with that .223 case..1.456 bumbed to 1.4535... let's say you for some reason bumbed a case to 1.452 inadvertently. Would you expect a velocity difference for that 1 round?

No, not enough to be outside normal SD/ES for whatever load you're using. If you had a hundred shorter rounds and compared them to a hundred regular you might see a tiny difference in average but I'm not even sure it would show up then.

@whitesturgeon3 күн бұрын
@@TheSaintsAdvantage I'm not a pro but i'll take a stab; I would expect the neck tension to change but whether or not it's an outlier depends on your typical results. If you shoot 2 MOA, you probably won't notice anything different. If you shoot very tight groups, than everything is in play. Just a guess though.

And you can measure shoulder bump using two bullet inserts sometimes. A .40 cal. bullet insert will work instead of a .400 case insert if there is no bullet in the case. Same goes for .375"and others. Works well if you are working with a long cartridge.
