    Machine to Decapp / Deprime Pistol Cases

    Once again, looking for honest opinions...

    Would anyone want to purchase a machine that you would connect to your Case Feeder, sort brass to caliber, toss it in the Case Feeder hopper, turn on the machine and it would remove the primers ? If so, how much would a machine like this be worth ?

    Of course, Berdan or Crimped Primers would probably be a problem.

    If the name of this "tool" is wife or child, it could cost you more than it is worth.

    the thing is my case feeder allready feeds the cases into a machine that de-primes them,it sizes them too.
    then puts in a new primer and powder...

    now if it done 223,308 etc and sized-deprimed that would be a time saver,i wouldn't care if it had a collator i could feed a tube [s] by hand.
    using standard sizing dies and such, a price point of say 5 hundred bucks would sell quite a few. [a collator would add another price option]

    Or children!
    My kids all enjoy punching primers.
    They make a game out of it...who can punch the most in a minute.

    I'm waiting patiently (not) for a Hornady LNL Ammo Plant to take over for my Lyman manual turret press. And both presses can de-prime and then re-prime. I'm still one of those guys that wants to de-prime > wet tumble > re-prime and load. A lot of people keep telling me that I really don't need to clean primer pockets but I still do it
