Just look at the case head. If there is a ring or 3 indents stamped in around the primer pocket then is is crimped.

As from what I've seen the AE tactical does not come with crimped primers, headstamped .223 FC.

This is recent manufacture AE .223 Tactical black box. It does have a ring....but on close inspection, it really doesn't look crimped to me. I haven't reloaded so if someone could definitivly answer, it'd be appreciated!

No kidding eh..

Op, the crimp shouldn't be a big deal. I have some of the same brass and you can remove the crimp quite easily. It's decent brass so probably worth the extra effort.

My friend bought a bunch of FC AE this year and they were crimped. They were stamped FC 223 but loaded on Military machinery so the crimp is added after priming.

So what do we do with crimped primers so we can re-prime? I just got into re-loading,help would be appreciated. I've got about 2000 9mm cases and I'm thinking the primers are crimped because they don't de-prime very well.

Use one of these in a drill or drill press.

The Countersink that Zuke mentioned is popular.

You must either cut the crimp out, or push it back making the hole slightly bigger where the crimp once was. These are usually known as reaming or swaging.

Primer pocket reamers like Lyman makes (better in a drill press) RCBS Primer Pocket Swage, or Dillon Super Swage are the most popular reloading branded tools. If you only had to do 10-20 cases a RCBS type debur chamfer tool can be turned by hand in the pocket to cut the crimp out.

I have the RCBS Swage and the Lyman reamer and find I do most cases with the Lyman chucked in a drill press. I dont always have tons of surplus so I try to avoid crimped stuff when I can.

Out of curosity, what does one of these cost nowa-day's?

Dillon super swger is the way to go; fast easy and works like a charm. Takes the pain out of it for sure!

i countersink my brass using a drill press but i still have dificulty seating some primers so what i end up doing is a 2 step process.First i countersink then i run a lyman primer pocket reamer through each one as well.Its a real PITA and i just recently processed 1200 brass this way.I dont like it but it works.
