Anyone Speers 357Sig brass? Got a good deal(?) on 1000 pieces of once fired brass for 357Sig. Cleaned and polished for $52 with free delivery. Delivered within two days of order. Brass is listed as mixed headstamp with brass and nickel possible. Well, the whole bag is ALL Speer, ALL brass. It's in great shape with no nicks, dents or crushed mouths. Looks like it's been SS washed and looks like jewelry. The primers have not been removed.
As I go to deprime, I'm finding they have smaller than normal flash holes, and won't deprime easily. My Lee decapper now has a tapered pin, and I can get the primers out. Just need to be a bit careful.
My options are to:
1) drill out the flash holes to a more standard size. This is going to be a bother; but not as bad as removing a primer crimp. It only has to be done once to the case.
2) turn the decapping pin down to fit the flash hole. Not crazy about this option as that Lee pin is already somewhat fragile; and it's not got a collet like the Hornady, Dillon or RCBS.
Any other ideas?
