The Lee App Bulge Buster Kit and the appropriate Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die, restore free function of rimless cases that have low base bulges. Low base bulges usually occur from chambers that do not fully support the cartridge or cases resized in carbide dies from manufacturers other than Lee. These show a noticeable stop ring near the base. You will most likely find cases with these problems in mixed range brass. 

** Will only work with the following cases:  380 ACP, 10mm, 40 S&W, 41 AE (Use 40 S&W Factory Crimp Die), 45 ACP, 45 GAP, and 45 Win Mag.

The Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die must be purchased separately. 

If your case is repaired by the bulge buster kit, do not shoot in firearms with unsupported chambers.

Works as advertised, reuse the Glock brass!

Piece of cake. I use it with my Deluxe APP. I don’t bother with the bottle to catch the cases because I’d be emptying it constantly. A box or bucket on the floor works great.
The whole system works well on the APP. Cases feed smoothly and the Breechlock adapter/bushing is well made.  I ran 500 40S&W cases through in 15-20 minutes. It takes longer to get the cases upside down than it does to put them through the press and bulge buster.
Depending on your batch size/frequency you may want to get an extra crimp die so you don’t need to upset your Breech Lock bushing setting.
