Only kidding Clear Black. Welcome to the loony bin 
Never trimmed any pistol/revolver brass. The only new brass I ever bought was some 45 Colt as there was no used stuff to be found. I set up the trimmer and found I was wasting my time.
I did ream and chamfer them though. Probably a waste also. |
HA! That would have been funny
OK, part 2 of newbie lessons. What exactly is the process of case prep for a standard 9mm brass cartridge? By standard I mean nothing fancy will be done with the ammo I shoot. I basically buy the cheapest ammo on sale, and consistantly shoot from 10-15yrds, no further. Its only paper targets I shoot, no competition loads needed, just plinkers.
My question basically is, what do I do after I tumble my 9mm brass to get them ready to reload. I was looking at this machine here:
Cabela's: Lyman Case-Prep Xpress
Are these tools used to prep 9mm brass, or is this machine typically used for rifle brass prep? Basically what Im looking for is a retards book for a step x step process on 9mm case prep. For example,
Step 1: Find your brass
Step 2: Clean, tumble the brass
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5: At this point my brass will be ready to go thru the reload press and become a 9mm round.
So in a nutshell, what am i missing between steps 2-5.
Im really not very versed in the reloading vocab yet, so truly sorry if most of you are now shaking your heads saying *** is this guy talking about
