My berdan removing tool!

[PDshooter]

I just give it a wack with a rawhide hammer......Removed! And with a cast bullet the cost is about 12 cents......

Very nice. I've seen hydraulic depriming methods on youtube, but never one this fancy.

[USAFrox]

That's cool! What do you estimate that cost you in materials and time?

[PDshooter]

I don't know....It was scrap aluminum,,,,And three hrs on a lave at work.

Well, I think your tool sticks to the saying, "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing." You must have a pretty good sized lathe to be able to make something that big.

[LUBEDUDE]

Awesome!

Very good Idea,I have used this method to remove blind bushings.Good thinking.

Nice! When I was a machinist we called those "Government Projects". Sure made a lot of motorcycle parts, I miss having the access.

Got the cost down to 12 cents per round.I using the Lee 155-r2 ? with 23grs IMR4895

Well if you get the itch to make them count me in.
I like the look of that thing.

Yea but how long does it take you to do a hundred that way? Yikes! Are you at least converting the brass to boxer prime?

I can do #50 steel cases in about 1/2 hour.....I haven't even seen brass 7.62X39 . I'll reload the steel 3x with reduced loads....

I picked up a hydraulic decapper on eBay. In the brass 7.62x39 it won't even budge the primers. I'm hoping that after I have painstakingly removed them by other means and remove the crimp that they will come out for the second reloading with the hydraulic tool.

What's the deal about the time? Its a hobby, not a job, time should not be an issue. Or do you time how long it takes you to eat dinner?

Very nice work on the decapper. You using Bedan Primers?

+1

i took a 1/4" extension bit and sanded it down to fit snugly into a CCI aluminum berdan primed case. they reloaded just fine! and they nicely used boxer sized primers so i just removed the anvil from the primer and seat like normal.

Yes, I bought 2K berdan primers from "powder valley" I shoot my AK more then my AR these days

I built this AK from a parts kit.. $99 at that time.. I wish I would have bought more ...
