Had to laugh at that part.

Back in the 70's, my late brother was, for reasons lost in time, decapping some .45acp cases with the Lee tool while sitting on the floor with the base resting on a phone book. One popped, and sent the decapping rod bouncing off the ceiling.

Not long ago, I used the Lee rod to punch a couple, but pushed them out with a drill press vise, not a BFH.

As noted in another thread, I've got some crappy primed brass that I'm gonna crush and scrap, after decapping with a universal decapper. Based on this thread, I'm going to keep the primers for Trail Boss rifle loads.


What fresh Hell is this?
