I believe he uses a Harvey deprimer. I have one but it's sits in a drawer because it is to hard on my fingers. When I did use it controlling spent primers trajectories was an issue discovered by my bare feet.

Fyodor if your girlfriend talked to you for the entire time you did all those, well I'd buy another Harvey for her. Maybe that could shorten the time spent depriming for another shared, fun, activity. ;)

I actually have a modified turret and a case kicker for my classic turret press that turns the press into a very quick decapping station. But that has two disadvantages: The cases need to be pre sorted by caliber, and I'll sit in the attic. When I have large batches of unsorted cases, I usually use my Harvey to decap and sort at the same time while watching a movie.

My girlfriend is at her parent's over the weekend, that's why I was able to do that at all. She doesn't like the noises during a movie.
