    .223: Deprimed, swaged primer pockets, yes. Tried deprime & sizing but it puts too much load on the pass-through shell holder and pulls the cases out of it. They don't have enough grip on the rim. Good, thorough lube helps but makes a mess of things. I keep it fed with a dillon casefeeder.

    9mm mil not sure what you mean... swaged primers? sure. size and deprime as fast as I can pull the lever, Run them all through again to swage pockets.

    They're cheapish so totally worth it. Get the roller handle, I blistered my hand from the stupid ball it comes with.
    We have an extra case feeder and thats one of the reasons he is looking at the APP.
    He was looking at sizing and deprime 223 and 9mm. Then swedge them.
    Most likely I'll keep doing all of it on my big Dillon for him and my needs.
    Good post sir, Thanks
