Query, how can you deprime if you don't have any Reloading Equipment?

I was looking at either the Harvey deprimer or a Lee hand press. IDK.

I started reloading on Lee equipment - and was very happy with it. They have great customer service and a great warranty. It's an inexpensive way to get started with reloading and learn the process. In fact I still use my Lee for SD loads.

Hammer. Long finishing nail. Block of wood with a hole drilled in it to set the case on. Yes, yes I did way back when

I run them through a decapping die first, then tumble, then size. It adds an extra step, but since it's not prone to errors (like overcharging etc.), I use a hand press to decap while watching TV and sometimes even while reading the board.

The sole function of the decapping rod in the sizing die is to knock out the media.

I like the sound of the hammer and nail method; I have those already. Can I get away with that without damaging the brass? Any technique tips?

You've got to be careful not to screw up the flash hole. You don't want to make a practice of expanding that.

I was usually stoned or drunk. I also smoked while charging cases with a scoop. There's your hint about using this method...I wouldn't
