I have a Harvey as well although I’m finding that it is slow compared to the decapper system built in to the die.I just bought a Harvey Deprimer. It might be the slickest gadget I've ever seen. I have been collecting range brass, every caliber you can think of all mixed together. I sat down with my little hand held gizmo and started popping out primers. I did 12 pounds of them in about 3 leisurely hours. No difference at all between a 9mm or a 30.06.
You are using it in water, yes?The main problem with wet for me, is the separation fiasco. I need that Frankford Arsenal wet separator, my dry one is no bueno for pins.

I use a dry media separator, in water to break the surface tension of the wetted pins, to empty my cases.
I just picked up 500 pounds of mixed range brass. After ruining a bought new Hornady single stage Lock n Load press in two years I wet tumble first with no pins.
I seperated fifty pounds last night and today I wet tumbled around 4,000 pieces of 9mm and around 1,500 pices of 223/5.56.
Once I get more seperated I will wet tumble other calibers.
I had some 9mm that I dry tumbeled, i put it through the wet tumbler and did the crud come off that dry tumbled brass.
This is the stuff that came off the dry tumbled brass.
