Hi All -

I just had a foot operation, so I am off my feet for 8 weeks. I am looking for a solution which will give me at least some reloading functionality while I am on the couch, with my feet elevated. I don't need to make finished 9mm rounds, but I thought if I could do a step or 2 in bulk, it would save me time when I am able to use my presses. Plus I am really bored.

So in looking at the Frankford hand deprimer, I am not seeing anything which states that it sizes the 9mm brass. Does it? If not, it seems like a waste of time because I'd have to do that stroke on the press later anyway.

If it doesn't size, can anyone suggest a hand tool which I can make more progress, and cut a handle stroke or 2 later? I have a hand primer as well.

Tbanks!

I am not familiar with the device in question ... but ... seems to me that if it also resizes the cases they would mention that in the name, y'know? :)

I hope that all goes well with your recuperation!

I finally found a review which implied that it does not size. Maybe I shod be looking at a hand press?

Anyone have any feedback on a particular hand press? I have lee 9mm dies already.
 
Bolson is correct, the Frankford tool is only a depriming tool. I have one, and I deprime in my garage as a first step. This is to keep the chemicals and metals present in used brass out of my reloading room, or to at least reduce it. Cleaning and processing brass are later steps.

Thanks for pointing me to the correct solution everyone (As usual on THR), Lee Hand Press ordered.

Well after you deprime (only) the brass you can then use a little primer pocket cleaner tool and clean those pockets!
The, use a soft cotton rag and some Flitz and shine that that brass to brilliance!
Now move on to a brush abs scrub out the interior of the brass.:):rofl:

Hope you heal up (pun) probably need rehab after all that. What fun!:what:

For just decapping, I use the Lee decapper and base and a small box I made to catch the primers and store all the parts. I’ll post pics in a few after I pull it out again.
 
3/4x4 maple scraps and will hold several thousand primers as well as both bases and the decapper. I use one of the kids Lowes hammers with it.

If I’m taking the wife to the dr I can sit in the truck and deprime brass to kill time. It also works great at the playground when the kids burn off some energy, at the park, on the porch, or wherever you want . C26B29C7-C95D-4DD0-918E-7AAB8076FF23.jpeg

Me too, works great
 
If you can find someone to bring you a lap board, a drill, and a couple of screws, you can make an RCBS bench swager into a lap tool......that is if you have any military brass to swage.after you remove the primers. ;) You can, since you pull the handle, instead of the handle pulling over a bench edge like the similar Dillon tool requires.

You could similarly mount the Trim Mate tool on the left.

My brother went through what you are going through last year, but with both feet. He committed the ultimate no-no on a roof. Stepped on a "secured" stack of sheeting while sheeting a roof, and came down with the stack....feet first....shattered and broke both ankles.

I’m having surgery tomorrow to close up the holes in my stomach and chest where my feeding tube was removed early November. Still needing to get my right rotator cuff repaired, a knee, and 6-8 disks replaced. The rest I’ll continue to suffer with. Gonna have to do lots of brass scrounging soon so I have something to do while I’m down again.
 
Yep, I still suffer from "young and stupid invincibility" from my youth. Neck problems, back problems, knee problems, elbow problems. But I still reload and shoot as often as I can. A mild stroke two years ago has screwed up my marksmanship. But I don't compete and can still keep a group on a silhouette at 5-7 yards with my 357 revolvers! upload_2022-2-14_9-14-12.gif
