Removing Primer Pocket Crimps

[shootnstarz]

What do you guys, or gals, use to remove crimps in military brass primer pockets? I'm looking to upgrade my method.

I recently bought the CH4D kit and it works very well. Super quick and easy once you get it adjusted. Here is a link to the kit: http://www.ch4d.com/catalog/priming/psk

And here is a link to an article explaining how it works: http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2005/squeezeplay2/

And here is an article describing a few different ways: http://squibloads.wordpress.com/reloading/get-the-crimp-out/

I have never reloaded tons of military cases so I have always just used a drill bit in my drill press. I am seriously considering ordering the DILLON 600 SUPER SWAGE. http://www.grafs.com/catalog/product/productId/3086/inline/1

Get a Dillon 1050 super. It saves all of you problems. Just my 2 cents jj

Good luck finding one for a reasonable price. I was orginally looking to get one of those, but they were going for double the retail price a couple months ago when I ended up getting the CH4D.

I'am with oneshot, once you get a Dillon 1050 you never look back.

 

[JohnAL]

Yeah but that is serious overkill for 90% of us.

Look on ebay. I was on there and they weren't that bad. Might have to look for a few days but it might be worth the time. If something is broke on it Dillon will send you the parts even if you aren't the orginal owner.

I'm with JohnAL, I used a drill bit on the couple hundred I had. No problem.

Some years ago I acquired some 5.56 and 7.62 LC73 "MATCH" brass. This does not have a crimp. Before that I used and older RCBS primer pocket swedger,but had to follow up with a case mouth champfer tool. --- SAWMAN

I use the RCBS swager. It does a pretty good job and doesnt break the bank.

Jerome, you think I'm rich? I'm just a poor old carpenter !!!

Actually I had a older 1050 once but sold it before I ever used it. Same goes for a 650 with all the bells and whistles, sold it all before I ever took it out of the box.

I have been using a Dremel and a chamfer bit, works great but I'd like to get a swedger, probably RCBS or Dillon if'n I can find one.

Bet you wished you hadn't sold them now.

I use a lyman prep center and has the pocket primer reamer with it. Works great.

If any one is insterested I have a Dillion primer swage that I may consider turning loose., I'll try and get some pit. up tuesday It will be priced right. Just my 2 cents jj

 

[JohnAL]

I would be very interested

 

[Deep South Arms & Ammo]

I use the Dillion . Quick and easy

 

[shootnstarz]

I would be very interested

Ditto !

Not really, I actually got more for the stuff than I paid new, the prices went up that much in the years it sat in the back room.

I mostly reload for accuracy so plodding along with a single stage is the best way for me to load precision ammo. I can also load pistol rounds fairly quickly too with the Rock Chucker. Progressives are great but I'm quite happy with a single stage.

I use a Trim Mate but it doesn't have a reamer, where did you get your bit for the Lyman Junky?

OK HERE IS A PIT. OF THE Dillion Swage 600 I couldn't find the small rod and punch. If any one interested 75.00 as is If I cand find the other things 85.00. You come and get it or will bring it down when I come down, This is my cell # 572-6611 I don't do e-mail tag or text or voice mail. just my 2 cents jj
