Depriming 9mm brass cases

This machine pushes used primers out of fired cases. A tedious job for those who prefer to deprime cases before cleaning and further processing. Not everyone believes this is even required before cleaning and even before the reloading process.
I personally prefer to deprime and then clean cases for two main reasons...
1) Primers contain lead and other dangerous substances so removing primers as the first step towards reloading these cases, is one step towards protecting ones health.
2) Once deprimed cases can be properly tumble cleaned in hot water containing stainless steel pins and a suitable burnishing compound which insures cases and primer pockets are spotless and free of harmful substances.

This step adds time to the reloading process but for me personally it is well worth it from a health perspective...better visual inspection of cases when they are totally clean is made possible...also importantly, the new primers have a clean unfettered path when they are being installed ensuring they seat fully and often more easily in primer pockets.

I normally use a collator or multi case feed tubes on this little machine but when a small batch of less than 100 cases is being deprimed as in the case of this video, I simply feed cases in the feed tube by hand.
I use this machine to deprime large numbers of 9mm and 45ACP cases. Other calibers are possible with rimless cases.
