Is this tool mainly used so the brass can be used again, or is it possible to use the projectile again?

I have reused the bullet after pulling it from a casing. It will not damage your bullet if the machine is used properly. I have found that a piece of hard wood turned on end will remove your bullet fast and easy with this tool.

it seems you have gotten your answer -- would like to add if you put a few cotton balls in the end of the hammer that catches the bullet it's much less to dent/ deform bullet tip area especially when braking down soft and hollow point bullets you'll have to play with how much cotton- it's always the hit after the bullet is out then you realize you didn't need that last hit -- cotton saves bullet tip

That's the concept ...but it doesn't work for what I needed it for. Used in on a .223 cartridge with "NO CRIMP". Hit it probably 50 times. The only thing it managed to do is ding up my hardwood floor.

If u have that factory crimp die then u can use any shell with any gun,but if u shot those shells threw that gun then u can use those shells to reload for that gun. I hope I helped

This decapping die only takes out the old primer. You will need to get a separate set up for trimming the brass. There are several kinds ranging from very basic to ones that operate with electric power so you'll have to to some research on what will work for you. I expect that the person who advised you that you needed to deprive all cases before trimming them anticipated that you would use a standard die that both deprimes and resizes the brass. When that is done the brass can be stretched. However, the Lee die only removes the primer. Get a good case length gauge to use after you resize each piece of brass to determine if trimming is necessary. This decapping die only takes out the old primer.

If you are using steel BBs shot into a baffled trap; i.e. cloth shields inside to prevent direct impact with the metal, they're okay to reuse. I have a cup of BBs that I've reused for over six months with no problem. Lead BBs are another issue as they will deform or even shatter.

It worked on mine pretty well it's just really bulky and it does work itself lose on the screw that holds the plexiglass cage on the plastic rod. But other than that it's nice not having to spend the time picking up brass after a long range day.

The tool appears to be highly reusable. I have used it several times and it resets itself automatically, much like a tool used in marking steel for drilling, etc. There is no need to "reset" the tool, as it does so automatically.

It's really not setup for constant removal and re-installs. The self tapping screws will eventually strip and the fitting/guide tabs will wear or break with constant use. This will result in a loose fitting device around the trigger which is just asking for trouble.

I'm not sure. I don't see why you couldn't. I would think that it would be no different that firing one from a blank pistol. I'd have to re-read the directions again to see if it can be done.

If the once fired brass is from your gun . Yes neck sizing is all that is needed to reload. If the once fired brass is from another gun full length sizing is necessary and if ammo is going to be used in any other gun than one brass was fired in.

I use this tool in an RCBS case prep machine. I hand prep my brass for the first 250 rounds of .308 and then bought mine. Takes only seconds per case and my hands don't hurt anymore.

You will need a bow restringer to remove the string which should be done after shooting to preserve the limbs and string. You can mutually break it down but you risk twisting the limbs. The limb bolts are tightened and loosened by hand. Have fun!!

Not sure which mount, most use see though mounts so they can still use the irons. Doing so tends to raise your cheek weld a little high off the stock in my opinion. Use whatever mounts are high enough to allow clear ejection of brass from the chamber.

I have reloaded Glocked brass in the 40 S&W; caliber by using the factory crimp die in this set. You have to remove the collet and push the brass thru the sizing die in the factory crimp die. I made a brass pusher by inserting a ⅜ Dow rod into a 9mm shell. You can purchase a metal pusher from Lee but I like my free home made one. Hope this helps answer your question

Yes On Impact The Kinetic Energy Discharges The Steel Shots And No They Are Not reloadable. One Time Use No Matter What You hit

Yes for the roller handle. To clean?????? That is done separate with a tumbler, no press in the world cleans the brass. And it comes with a crimping die, the last die both seats the bullet and crimps the bullet. You need to go to rreshop(.)com and get the complete kit for reloading. It will come with everything needed to reload, manual, lube, tumbler, scales, calipers, etc....

Yes, you can use it to load .45ACP. I ran into a problem however, the 45acp requires a crimp on the brass. I have been told that this loader will crimp the brass, but Im not sure how. Hopefully, someone will come along shortly and explain that!

Out of the box it can reload only 45ACP brass. I purchased an additional shell plate which will allow reloading 9mm brass (I also ordered the appropriate 9mm dies and small primer feeder). I think each plate can accommodate several brass shell sizes.
