Crimped primer pockets

[SSGDave762]

You can find a lot of inexpensive brass that has a military crimp, 556, 308, even some 9mm has it-and with the tool, it's easy to remove without damaging the brass or making the primer pocket unusable. Now, for the .50BMG, it was not as easy-had to use a broken primer punch, tapped it in then worked it loose, Then tapped the primer pocket tool I bought which was supposed to remove the crimp using your press-but wasn't strong enough to remove plus damaged some brass. they really don't have a cutter/reamer big enough I've found which is Shallow enough not to bottom out. New info on that, please pass it along.

Ended up pulling the trigger on this bad boy!!! It’s sweet! And a lot smaller than expected

Awesome! That should make short work of those 2500 brass.

Interesting, old one looks flatter on top.

The Hornady primer pocket reamer is about $10 per bit or a little under $20 for both. Choose the one you need and chuck it up in an electric drill then go to town.

At first I used the "old timer" method of a pocket knife (box cutter) but quickly learned that the old timers were either crazy, stuck with an inferior method because they didn't have better tools, or both. 100 cases or less convinced me to pony up the 20 bucks.

Now look into the "rubber band mod" for the Dillon 600 Super Swager (videos all over youtube). It will really speed up your processing rate when you get it dialed in. I tried it for awhile and then I stumbled on the Leviathan Armory mod which I like a lot better. Unfortunatley, I think Leviathan is no longer producing their kit...hopefully someone will come up with something similar in the future.

Great video! Just got my super swager the other day but I finished 2500 pieces of 223 on it in two days! About an hour and a half each day it’s definitely worth the money. Never considered mounting it vertically. I’ve had great luck with how I’ve got it set up.
