I'm having trouble decapping these rounds. Little help?

photogpat seems like his head is squarely on his shoulders, so I'm guessing it was stuck down in another case. Now if it was OldmanFCSA of SeismicSam, lazily sorted cases would be more likely :twisted:

Sizing stem is way too far down. You only need the recapping pin to extend about .060 past the case face.

I've done that also, and I did sort. I have about 60 pounds of fired 22LR cases if anyone has a use for them.

There may or may not have been other things in this case. Laziness on my part in not dumping...they all looked so clean.

Ha! I glanced at the photo and didn't really look at the photo. :oops:
