Got Steve's video and ready to start BUT don't want to take off too much metal. Example-how much do you take off the extractor. It looks like about half but just guessing.
Anybody recall?
Thanks
Lago

Remove a little and try, repeat if needed, as many times as needed!

OK, so that it's not so hard to snap over the rim?
anybody have a picture of one done like that? I would like to try it, cause that's the hardest thing about cycling my 357.
