Hello fellow gun nuts!

I am just curious what you use for removing primer crimps? I have a lot of different crimped 5.56/223 brass I would like to try out.
I would like something for quick/easy production.

On another note, What military/5.56/crimped brass do you like to reload? I read the LC brass is great.

Thanks!
 
I just got my first batch of IVI military 5.56 brass with crimped primers

I`m just working my way through it now to get it prepped to load (deprimed, swaged primer pocket, tumbled, lubed, resized and trimmed)

I used a Dillon super swage 600 - VERY fast and easy

Just finished 1000 Remington 223 cases before that and it takes noticeably less force to resize them versus the 5.56 military cases
 
I use the RCBS swagger in my rock chucker and once I get a rhythm going I can really chew through a pile of cases quick. Just don't space out when doing it because pinching your finger in the press is not a pleasant feeling!
 
Lyman primer pocket reamer. Works great, puts a nice bevel on the primer pocket. Just pop it in a cordless drill when prepping a boat load of brass.
 
I use the Dillon for 5.56 and 9mm, would use it for 7.62x51 if the need arose. The RCBS die type tool just didn't do the job for me. I've also used a chamfering tool chucked in my small lathe; drill press works to.
Prefer swaging to cutting.
