careful when depriming as the pin can set the primer off.  What ive done in the past is soak the entire case in water ( dissolve the priming material) then press it out. Causes you to lose the primer but the case will live on to shoot another day.

And so may you .

Good advice.   

Enquiring minds want to know.
Did you try out your home made ammo yet?

Yes, I went to the range on Friday, Fired of 50-60 rounds. as you said the powder was a little low resulting in 2 stovepipes.
I also had a squib load which luckily resulted in a failure to feed, Lesson learnt i will be a lot more careful from now on and will be weighing my ammo for consistency (I got a decent scale now)

I have that lee disk. I'll go measure the correct puka for that load.

Mathematically, that 115 gr bullet would use puka #40.
Alternatively, you could keep the #32 puka and put a 147 gr bullet on top.
I can give you some 147 gr bullets if you want to try that....manuahi.

Are you planning on weighing the completed round?  That won't work.  The cases will have too much deviation to give you any useful data.  Best bet is to spot check powder drops while loading.  Lee auto disk is fairly consistent.

Yes I tried that when I first started. On rifle rounds, it's easy to tell if you didn't charge a round. On 9mm, the variance in case and bullet is more than most powder charges. I charge my whole tray than visually inspect the charge than seat and crimp. I'm using several single stage presses set up for each function so it's no problem for me.

Well that was the idea but apparently that snot a good one lol,  Just got to be earful i guess.

Anyone locally knows about making wildcats and fired form brass?

Aloha Suka,  What in particular were you looking for? or were you just interested in the process. I think the most in depth one's we have may be the 338-378 KT and 30-416 Rigby. You can message me if you got questions, Aloha!
