I have only used the K&M to uniform primer pockets. I don't know that it can't remove crimps, just that I haven't used it for that application.

The 32-20 is one of my favorites. Don't have anything of that vintage in a handgun, it's more Marlin and Winchester levers and a Contender here. Five shot groups? I'm likin' the 3.2 and 3.3's

Well, first off, welcome to the addiction.
The RCBS ingot moulds I have don't require a dedicated handle, use Vise-Grips, so unless that's changed it's one less item on the list.

The round on the right is a 'bona fide' 25-20 WCF, the round on the left is a question mark.
Forum: Vintage Ammo
Happened across a cartridge the other day, supposedly a 25-20 WCF, which now has me wondering if it is a 25-20. For starters there is no sign of there ever being a headstamp. That's a first, for me...

I will use tarnished, but clean, range brass. I'll be the one that determines if it's clean.

Reason being that I find the H & R to have a tendence to mis-fire due to what I feel is fouling in the breechplug. I use the same wiping technique...
