    I run my loaded 45acp rounds through my lee bulge buster. It’s the base and rim that get swaged down. Some pass through with minimal resistance while others are a struggle. PCCs and 1911s beat brass up a lot plus most of my brass is assorted stuff from friends and pick ups. I added a 2 ft piece of aluminum tubing to my handle just to make it easier.

    Why not do it as part of brass prep? Waiting to fix a loaded round that doesn’t chamber, I could maybe understand that, but doing it for all at the end, seems the hard way with no upside.
