You talkin' 'bout me?

Does she have a sister? Who works at the same place?

So in a matter of four days we have talked you into buying about $100 worth of small tools so you can salvage used brass. I think this web site should be renamed "money gunners". We obviously do more purchasing than shooting!

Get a new decapping pin. You'll never get the old one straight.

Different results without changing the depth of the die MIGHT mean some cases lengthened in total length, and are hanging up on the case length versus chamber length. Maybe. Let us know what you find out.

Different rifles will likely give different amounts of brass stretch, but only a few thousandths each. That's enough to give you different experience with each piece of brass. Do clean your chamber thoroughly before starting your measuring process. As Magnum Mania says, you might have some...

right -- i saw that. I'm partial to brass, not nickel.

i have a backorder with them. same with the other dealers. must be a run on .32-20!
