I've read both and the argument is getting your die nice and crappy when de-priming dirty brass. I suppose I could clean it twice, but not real efficient.Whatever method is typical/suggested, I'll go that route and then figure things out as I go along. I can get a bit anal retentive so dirty brass may get irritating.My Dad gave me his older MEC reloader earlier this year, set up for 12 ga, so I've been looking it over, cleaning it up and checking out some of the other parts he sent with it. 3 charging bars, several bushings, a universal charge bar, a few other pieces and 2 scales that were not handled very well but are at least in their original box. A Lyman Pro 500 Scale and a Lee scale. Just need to figure out how things work together, it's been probably 30+ years since I pulled the handle on this MEC, my sons have more recent experience than me, helping Grandpa of course.I put the #1 son on Jerry's up in Tulsa, I think he lives about 10 minutes away from the place. He did say the guy he talked with was pretty helpful with several recommendations and it was a pretty cool store, LOTS of stuff.  He'll be bringing a few things down with him when comes for Christmas day.</blockquote>
