Need a good de crimping tool..

[SA85M1]

Gents and gals..


I have a ton of .223 brass with crimped primers..I am in need of a good de-crimping tool,...where can I find one?

I have been told to just use the deburrer. You just have to take the edge off of the pocket by the looks of it, I am just getting into reloading and looked into this as well. That is what I came up with and that is what I will be doing.

"...brass with crimped primers..." The primers will pop out during the regular depriming step. Then you use a regular deburring/chamfering tool to remove a wee bit of material on the edge of the primer pocket.
This can be mechanized using a chamfering tool in a drill press. The important part is to not remove too much material. It's just a tiny bit of brass that holds the primer in place for MG's. Buy the chamfering tool in any shop that sells tooling to machine shops. Princess Auto is your friend. Depends on where Lower East Slobobia actually is.

The LEE case deburring tool works great for this.With the short blunt nose on it ,just a few rotations and the crimp is gonzo. An only costs like 10 bucks or so!!

If you have hundreds the deburring tool will work just fine as suggested. If you're looking at thousands I'd go for the Dillon Superswage 600.

The Lee chamfer tool does work but it gets very tiring if you've got a lot of brass to process. It still isn't a perfect solution, some brass needs a decent amount of chamferring before it will take a primer. Look into using a hand drill with a chamfer tool or drill bit for high volume reloading of crimped brass.

I don't know where I got it but I use a countersink bit like this one, since it's just cutting brass it hasn't dulled and takes very little effort to cut out a crimp
(not used in a drill, 1-2 turns by hand with minimal pressure is LOTS)

My choice would be the Dillon super swage. I tried a few of the tools out there and none of them even came close to matching the performance of the Dillon.

I did a 5 gallon pail in an afternoon with one of these in a drill press.
