Decapping military brass.

[gushulak]

I have a bunch of once fired IVI 5.56mm cases that I would like to process to reload. Does the Dillon Super Swage decap the cases as well as remove the primer crimp? What is the best way to decap this brass without going through a bunch of decapping pins on my regular dies? I am looking to get this brass decapped, primer crimp removed and trimmed to length and was wondering the best way to go about decapping. Thanks.

I've used a Lee universal de-capper for a few thousand 7.62 NATO cases with no problems, and use an RCBS swager.

I'll second the Lee universal de-capper, I've ran into a few crimped primers and it works fine. I've never actually tried to remove military crimps, but I imagine the sinclair primer pocket uniformer would do the trick. I use it on my non-crimped brass to get a uniform primer seating depth.
