223 brass


blue edge

BS! First swage your brass then you can use a primer pocket tools from Lyman. They have a lifetime warranty.

I have only had to clean the pocket once. That brass is totally reloadable. For me, this situation is usually found in military (LC) brass.

As I was told by a technical rep, bottle neck brass requires a lot more prep work than straight walled cases.

PJB is correct. There is nothing wrong with that brass other than it is crimped. Give it a swage before loading and you will be fine.

Processing 223 is a pain which is why there is a market for having it processed.

Have yet to see crimps be symmetrical usually offset like the pics just ream/swage before reloading..

If not, then save em up box em up and ship em to me I'll see if they can be saved B)

also havent ever seen a partial primer cup come out, have seen primers separate at the anvil when decapped but never a broken cup
