LEE PRECISION - Lee Bulge Buster

Very easy to set up and use! Saved a lot of brass with this product that normally wouldve been discarded.

I purchased bulge buster to eliminate the bulged "brass" I had from matches and the occasional reload that failed in the chamber check gauge. My 1911s are all full custom and have custom reamed chambers. Anything out of spec isn't going through, not just from sloppy unsupported polymer chambers, but factory 1911s as well. Therefore I check every round and previously discarded a lot of brass and had to take apart a lot of reloaded ammunition. With the bulge buster you can re-size (fully) out of spec brass or fully loaded ammunition. Absolute win. What I didn't know was that carbide dies don't fully size brass, however, I'm not going to switch for pistol due to the need to lube. This device allows you to have the best of both worlds. PLEASE NOTE! You will need to purchase a Lee crimp die separately (get carbide). Because the pusher moves the brass totally through it will fully size regardless. I wish the pusher could capture the brass better, but it's not possible as it has to pass totally through the die.

Purchased a Lee 45 ACP bulge buster to eliminate the random bulged "range brass" I reload. Seems Glock semi-auto's like to leave bulged cases. This is easy to set up using my Lee 45 ACP crimp die and breech lock single stage press. I always double check my reloads with my L.E.Wilson case gage to make sure they will chamber. Nice die / device to have on hand for when those pesky bulged cases show up. Lee, in my opinion, makes a great product at an affordable price. I use Lee dies exclusively for all of my pistol and revolver reloading.

I just purchased a Bulge Buster,for use on my .40S&W, and .45 ACP cases. I have only processed about 25 of each caliber to initially try it out. It works great, the processed cases will drop into a EGW chamber checker, without force. My only complaint is that since the case just sits on the "ram". it is necessary to insert the case into the Lee carbide die, then use the ram to push it through. It is a bit awkward. But it seems to work very well.

I missed the bit about needing a factory crimp die, Its not as cheap or as useful as it seems. True, waiting two months for the NZ police to issue a permit didn't help my mood, suppose if you pay peanuts..
