Harvey Deprimer
« on: June 26, 2013, 12:53:35 PM »
I was wondering if anybody has used the Harvey Deprimer. I have found limited reviews, through the concept seems simple enough. Thanks

Not sure I see any real advantage to using one , a small " Pin Punch " and a ball peen hammer will work just as well for a ton less money .  ???
 
Or better yet a Lee " Loader " set up

I seldom set down to the bench for less than 3 to 5,000 rounds.  By the time I got them all deprimed I'd be too crippled to load um. :o

I am new to reloading, so am young and impressionable with a love for gadgets and toys......So I'll be ordering one. I will be using stainless steel tumbling media (got hooked by the 'like new' brass line) I'll report when she arrives.

I'm old and ornery and still have a thing for gadgets and new toys but my needs have changed.  I like getting more done with less effort nowadays.  You're gonna like them little steel pins, but they sure are hard on a tumbler.  ;)

why would you not just size and deprime at the same time?

I bought an old press I take with me to the range and use the Lee decap die.  I decap while my rifle is cooling down.  I prefer to decap before I tumble, makes the priming a little easier and keeps the depriming mess out of the house.

Lloyd when you get to my level of accuracy you would understand.
