rupie Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I just went through about 150 rejects that I had, which all of the m now go through my case gauge. My plan is to reload normally and then case gauge everything just like normal, and anything that wont go gets sent through the redding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeShot Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I believe the reason they want you to push the case through from the base of the case and not from the other side. Is that pushing it through with the stem in the inside stretches the case, and thins the area that you don't want thinned, the webbing at the base! Where cases rupture.Pushing it from the base of the case, keeps the stretching at the webbing at the base intact and basically keeps the length of the case the same. I suspect that over time pushing from the inside will continue to lengthen the case and it will change the headspace of the round... All just guesses. I use a Gizmo and it was fully specified to push it thru from the base of the case *ONLY* Alan Could be the reason. I'll have to check the case lengths before and after to see if the push through is stretching the case. ...I'd think the die (at least the one I made) would push the case back in (reducing the OD) more than anything.

Pezco Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm also with Rupie on this one. I just send my loaded rejects through the Rx and have been doing this for 3 months. It was taking me too much time to run all the brass through the Rx first then load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBfarms Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The push rod does not really touch the primer but I don't think I would be comfortable putting stress on a loaded round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Adamson Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The push rod does not really touch the primer but I don't think I would be comfortable putting stress on a loaded round. I would be concerned that it would effect the crimp more than anything and as a result potentially effect accuracy. What I do is process all my brass in the tumbler, then every time I go pas the reloading room, I just throw 100 or 200 thru the Gizmo. I then pull from that box when it's time to reload. So far, I'm way ahead on full length resizing compared to reloads. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrinkMD Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 How are people doing once you have G-Rx sized the brass? Do you use those cases for light target loads only? How many reloads have you gotten out of those cases? I was thinking about using it on some Aquila brass I shot through my 4006TSW. Those rounds were loaded so hot from the factory that the heads are out of spec. and won't even fit into the shell holder correctly. They were able to go into the shell plate on my LNL, but they obviously would not gauge. Should I just chuck this brass out, or will the G-Rx return them safely to service?

JACKAL Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I need to get one of these Redding GRX dies. I have lots of brass I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67ls7vert Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I just got my GR-x kit from Bauer Arms yesterday. I was going to just run all of my brass, and then decided to run some of my loaded rejects. They went right thru the die and all 120 previously rejected rounds case gauged fine. I am going to load my rounds, case gauge, and then run only the rejects thru the GR-X. Seems like it will be way faster then running every case. Randy Edited because I do not read instructions. The Redding instruction sheet tells you not to size loaded ammo. I ASSumed the pusher was recessed at the primer contact area so that you could size loaded ammo without pushing on the primer. I am obviously wrong! I think the lee bulge buster says it's ok topush live rounds? Edited July 8, 2012 by 67ls7vert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockman1000 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Seems like personal preference. For me, I would rather just pull it & use the components for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzZ990 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Has anyone had any issues with the carbide rings cracking in there G-RX 40 push through die? Once I get a case that pushes thru harder than normal then from there all the brass pushes through way to easy like No bulges. Found that when I look through the die while holding it up to the light I can see a hair line crack in the carbide ring. I have cracked 5 of there dies so far and they keep replacing them for me for free, but I waste time waiting around for the new one and have to pay shipping costs. Switched to an AUTO DEBULGE 40 and love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dover Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I switched to the Rollsizer after resizing 1000 pieces of brass with the G-RX. My elbow couldn't take anymore. I am glad I made that decision everytime I sit down to reload. It is worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely put considerable strain on my elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
