Sharpshooter
I just bought the Lee Deluxe press kit. I kicked around buying the Classic press, but money was an issue. The Classic kit had fewer extras. I know that you could argue the point, but I’m passed that point now, so just smile with me. I will be loading 95% 9mm and 5% .38 rounds. I bought the Lyman Reloading Handbook, 49th Edition. I didn’t buy the .38 dies or turret plate yet for them yet, because my Taurus 605 needs repaired anyway. I currently shoot about 50-100 rounds per week of almost all 9mm in my Glock 26 but some from my Beretta 92FS Compact.
Can I remove the slight bulging of the case near the base with the LEE Deluxe Pistol 4-Die Set I purchased?
Does the plastic autoprimer for the Classic press work with the Deluxe? I can’t see that it does or that it doesn’t. I am torn between getting one and getting a hand primer. Any suggestions?
Where in the heck can I get primers? Since I ordered the kit the other day I have searched in vain for primers. I know I will eventually find them, and when I do I will buy a thousand or two. I’ve come to the conclusion that I will have to get in the van and take a trip. I saw one website that mentioned a $25 hazmat fee. Is this normal?
I know that a vibratory case cleaner is a real plus, but I am going to have to save that for the future. I am considering washing my brass in a bucket with water and a little bit of spic and span. Is this acceptable? I know they would have to dry really well. Would it be better to wash them after de-priming? I see people on YouTube tumbling their brass then de-priming and inserting a new primer on the same stroke of the press. Would it not be better to clean after de-priming so the primer pocket can get clean also? I know the answer is probably so obvious to some. Thanks for your help.
