Hydraulic deprimer

[KotKotofeich]

A new tool finally arrived. I really wasn't having much luck with hydraulic depriming before, but when I saw some folks in Russia machining deprimers I had to order one.

This one is for 7.62x39 and works wonderfully. I tried it out in the sink and I did not have water flying everywhere like when I was trying to do something similar with a drill bit.

I use a pin punch to deprime 7.62x25 brass successfully but this is faster.

So how does it work, it doesn't seem to thread into a press.

 

[KotKotofeich]

Put a piece of brass inside, add water, put the top piece in and tap with a hammer. No press required.

Sizing of course is done with the press, with the depriming rod removed (the brass is berdan).

Sounds a little retro but interesting surely there must be a better way..

 

[KotKotofeich]

For berdan brass? You can't deprime with a die in a press... The RCBS berdan depriming tool is, I find, clunky and even slower.

 

[Magellann]

Thats a unique tool to work like that. Are berdan primers available here, I don't recall ever seeing them around here.

 

[silverfoxdj]

OKay but I thought this was cheaper and just as easy untill someone comes up with a better option.

I tried that, ended up with water everywhere and nothing deprimed

Thanks, Ive never noticed that they had them.

Hmm looked pretty simple.. but as I say untill a better solution comes along How many rounds would one do in a sitting ?

cool video

 

[Magellann]

With that video unless you have a very snug fitting tool to fit in the case it would be a messy inefficient process, and slow as well.

 

[silverfoxdj]

That's true..but cheap as explained in the video

I timed myself with the new tool just now. 10 cases in 2.53. So far I like it.

 

[OkayShooter]

Is the tool stainless so it wont rust?

 

[Raton57]

Relativity simple key is to find a tool that just fits in the case mouth. I would make a different kind of shell holder that you could set the shell in and would hold the water instead of running all over the bench. Would be pretty simple to build.

I do like the machined tool. Generally a well made tool makes everything easier.

What about a 3/8 " hardwood wood dowel spun in your drill with some sandpaper to reduce it to a snug diameter?

If I was to get into reloading this cal, I'd probably do it in stages in quantity's of a few hundred at a time. I'd probably spend a night during each step of the process.

That's not too bad..if it works for you ...winning how much did it cost?
