AbitNutz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Can someone explain this to me? I have a 650 with a GSI toolhead...I'm likely getting a 1050. I was looking at this die layout and I'm not sure I understand. Sorry if this seems dumb... Station #1 Case loads Station #2 Universal decapping die. Station #3 Expander/primer swager...Does the expander/primer swager have to be in station #3? Station #4 ? Station #5 Powder measure Station #6 Bullet feeder Station #7 Bullet seater Station #8 Crimp If station #2 is a universal decapping die and station #3 is expander/primer swager...where is the case sizer? Or does the title saying "processed brass" mean it's been sized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30gts Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It looks like it means the brass is already processed, so there is no need to resize in station 2. Yes the expander die is part of the swage station and can't be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbitNutz Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 So there is no way to breakup the sizing and decapping operation into 2 separate steps....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Normally a sized/deprimer goes in #2. Why would you want to seperate those steps? #4 is primer station... jj Edited October 22, 2016 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) If you wanted to eliminate the swage altogether you could remove it and the expander/back up rod and install a regular size die. However I too wonder why you would want to do so? Just mount a regular size/decap die in #2. Edited October 22, 2016 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbitNutz Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I like the universal decapping dies. I have a Lee with a 3rd party decapping pin that is absolutely unbreakable and i was just curious if I could continue to use it. It's really an solution without a problem.
