Some of you are aware of my fondness for .32 RF single shots. I put some photos on a recent post of a tool I use that addresses the unique requirements of the re and depriming along with the other loading steps. Prompted by a couple requests for a video I managed eventually to thrash my way through all the steps to be a certified Vidiot on utube. I thought to start a new thread instead of further hijacking Bike's thread I'll repost photos here and add video link.

The "load" is a #2 Power tool blank as primer and propellant and a 299153 cast in a Ideal tong tool.
Here is what I have evolved to for 32rf reloading. It will be 3 posts because I don't have the knack of getting more than 1 photo on at a time.
first photo showing a modified #3 .38 Special tool and a couple punches.
Modifications are;
1. bullet seating die is bored out and sleeved to seat .32L ctrdges.
2. primer seating station bored & sleeved to fit .32L
3. bullet sizing station is converted to depriming, being bored and sleeved with a stepped ID, .385 id to step(step is .050 wide), then .320 id through. The sleeve is 1.21 oal, allowing 32XL to be deprimed.
4. the bullet sizing punch was removed and the hole opened up to .201 (#7) and drilled through top handle. The first photo is sort of an expanded view of how the tool, case and depriming punch relate.
The small punch with the pointed tip is to swell open the crimp to accept the depriming punch if the crimp does not open evenly.
