Daft question time. Is it worth drilling out the primer pockets so you can fit a boxer primer? Or are the pocket dimensions different?
Made, usually, to de-cap Berdan primed 9mm Parabellum aka 9mm Luger brass.
Uses just a drop of water so much more efficient than the Wamadet Heydraulic Decapper. There will be a spigot or "end" on your prime that is a snug tight fit into a 9mm case. You place the thing on the base (that has a hole in the centre) and hit the top of the Prime with a hammer. The drop of water drives the primer out of the case.
The biggest drawback is that, nowadays, time is money (it takes a lot of time), the cases get wet so need to be dried, Berdan primers are now virtually unobtainable, eventually you'll mix up a Berdan case with a Boxer case and wreck the de-capping pin and rid in your die set, seating Berdan primers in a progressive press is an explosion risk.

Welcome Janet, if you ask Alex @csl he is the best person to ask.Hello you people, may I introduce myself to this thread, I am Janet Köhne the window of Hans J. Köhne the inventor of the Hydropunch , I have one that we kept as a keepsake, I can´t see anywhere to insert the photo.
Hans died 4 years ago, he would be thrilled to see his invention referred to as VINTAGE as I have seen on the internet.
Thats the thing, I helped make them, I stuck the labels on and punched the tops plus a few more things I have forgotten after all these years.Does this help please?
I searched on Google and got no results. So searched on Microsoft Edge and found them. To publish them here I LEFT CLICK on "Attach Files" that you see on the left below where you are typing your message. That then brings if using CHROME BROWSER up a list of locations on your computer that you can then select a picture from and LEFT CLICK it to select. Then select OPEN by LEFT CLICK from where the picture is located and it appears.Thats the thing, I helped make them, I stuck the labels on and punched the tops plus a few more things I have forgotten after all these years.
I can´t understand why nobody took this over the patent ran out years ago. How did you get the pictures on E
