Loading press and forensics

Destroy the shell holder and dies.


Done

For those who don't want fingerprints on their cases, and tumble their brass to remove them, do you also load all your mags while wearing gloves?

If the mag is going into storage for defense, I do because of rust.
I really hate thinking about my oily rat claws all over the casings.

Besides the question being weird, like something a home made hit man might worry about, why would you tumble loaded rounds???

To start another thread?

The lube is to make the sizing process easier, especially with 9mm. Try it. Not much. Just a quick spritz with One Shot. You might be surprised.

You question the Great & Mighty Highlander51?
Ignore that man from behind the keyboard!

I would assume that if a sizing die left a distinctive mark, then yes, a case could be traced to a particular sizing die. I would make the same comment regarding the bullet seater in the seating die. The reloading dies would have to make a mark to be traceable, but I have never read of a study done to determine if these reloading accessories leave unique and distinctive marks.

Anything that is machined WILL leave distinctive marks.....from their own specific creation on down to wear from use.

There's no way for there to be no machining marks left from reloading.....you may need a good microscope to see it, but it's still there!
