I recently acquired a 50 lb bucket (feels like it anyway) of federal nt brass. I noticed that federal apparently uses two styles, crimped and non-crimped. The crimped obviously has the ring around the primer. The non-crimped has blue sealant around the primer without any ring visible. The primers on the non-crimped also had the typical swelling around the edges of the pocket like other non-crimped loads. After removing the primers, I measured the cups. The non-crimped measured .170 while the crimped was .168 on the crimped brass. I observed the same cup measurement on some other brands of non-crimped brass which leads me to believe the nt brass with blue sealant is good to load without swaging. I ran a batch of blue sealant brass through my Dillon 550 and didn't have a single problem. I also noticed the same small flash hole in the brass with the blue sealant as in other brands of non-crimped brass. The crimped nt brass had oversized flash holes. Oh yeah, the primers from the crimed brass bulged out when being deprimed while the primers from the blue sealant brass did not buldge at all. I am sure glass that I have fifty pounds of this stuff.
