Quote from Reloader on February 26, 2017, 3:17 pmIf the tube has been dented you'll have to discard it. If it is dirty, perhaps you can push something through it to clean it. Diameter of a large pistol primer is 0.21 inch so the diameter of the tube must be larger. So I'm wondering if you can shove a worn out but clean .22 caliber cleaning brush through it to clean it if that is your problem. Or wrap an alcohol soaked patch on a cleaning rod and push that through it. You want a cleaner that would leave no residue and quickly evaporates.
