I have around 140 primed .357 mag brass I got from a friend. The brass was his uncles (he passed in 2008). He loaded on a single stage Redding. I do not know how he primed cases.
I was thinking of loading it soon.
Right now, my Dillon 550C is set up for large primers and I’m not really wanting to swap it back to small primers…but will if needed.
So a couple questions…
1. I’m unsure if this brass need to be resized? Is there an easy way to tell? Is it as simple as checking it in the cylinder of my revolver?
2. If I need to resize, will the empty large primer tool be an issue? I really don’t see how it would as long as I don’t press the handle forward to the “seat primer” position.
Probably stuff I should already know and think I am probably good but just want to make sure.
Thanks!
Have a safe Memorial Day and remember those military and first responders who died serving us both home and overseas.
