just finished reloading 1000 rounds 9mm. It went smooth as silk once we
learned the trick to chamfer the primer ring on military brass. Just put
a
counter sink in the lathe and run it at about 500. Touch the brass to it
for
a second and its perfect. I got to grabbing another brass with one hand
and
transferring it to the other to chamfer really fast.

Thanks again for all the help getting us in the reloading bidness.

Are these Berdan or boxer primed?

One assumes boxer. Berdan is rather rare in the US and is a pain in the
ass to reload for.

I made a fixture to drill out some .223 steel cases Berdan and converted
them to Boxer. If I had a lot of them, I would have bought or made a collet
for my W&S #2 turret lathe. That would have been FAST! I reloaded the Wolf
cases just to see if I could...still don't like 'em.

How did you close up the existing multiple flash holes?

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
