Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Well, thought I had seen most of the nestable cartridge case combinations which would be injurious to your loading operation when running .45 Colt, but here's one that was especially sinister. Had a .45 Colt case that didn't want to decap. Rather than forcing it, I looked inside, to find a .40 S&W case nested in it, case head of the .40 down against the head of the .45 Colt. A very snug fit, too, as well as being something that certainly was not very visible. Took wrestling with needle nose pliers to get that bugger out of there. So, watch out for any stray cases that the brass picker elves may have tossed in your Christmas returned-brass stocking! Good luck for ALL the New Year!

Tequila Jim #14501 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 One of the hammer type bullet pullers would have done a better job of getting thr 40s&w out. Regards, TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, TJ Yep, I was walking over to where the impact hammer was, when I spotted the pliers and went after the stuck case. Didn't even scratch up the .45 Colt case, so I guess it saved me five steps. GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangent Ranger Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 GJ, you ought to at least send him the 40 s&w for a prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
