I'm going to get some .223 brass pretty soon. I've been looking at this "crimped" brass and was wondering how many of you use this type of brass. It's military brass, which I've think can have more metal in the bottom 2/3 or so of the case, so I may have to reduce the load slightly.
Also, I know I will have to remove the crimp, and I've been reading about the Dillon Super Swager. But at $94, I'm wondering what you all do to remove the pocket crimp from military brass like Lake City brass. The Dillon tool looks like it's really the "ticket" but the RCBS Primer Pocket Swager Combo also looks OK too.
Is there a way to use a reamer at all without cutting too much metal away?
