Just a question on reloading crimped primer military brass. Do I need an extra tool or can I just deprime and use a primer pocket cleaner/cutter?? Just asking as i have 750ish pieces of once fired brass.

Thanks!

I used to take the crimp out with a chamfering tool.
I never did buy a special tool.

Bought the RCBS tool and decided it was just as much a pain in the ass as the deburring tool. Got this instead. Made by Dillon. Once it's set up, swedges the pockets about as fast as you can pop them in and out.

I use a 1/4" round bottom vaining bit for a wood working router, installed in a cordless drill.

Works equally well on small pistol, small rifle, and large rifle.
