Nimitz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I have a 650 that I purchased to load 9mm. I am acquiring the necessary pieces to now load 223. My plan is to get the following: 223 cal conv kit deluxe quick change kit sm rifle casefeed plate set of 3 Dillion carbide rifle dies my question is: do I also need to get the quick change primer assembly or does the one installed for 9mm work?

GuildSF4 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Small primer is small primer (pistol or rifle same size). Edited November 4, 2013 by GuildSF4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSLC Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Might as well add the 1200 trimmer, super swage, and gauge as you'll get them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yeah, already have a gauge and I know I'll need a trimmer, just waiting for one to appear in the classified ... As for the super swage, not sure what that is for ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 In once fired military brass you need to either swage or cut the primer pocket crimp. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 so how do you tell if it's military brass? I have 2 40g buckets of unprocessed range pickup 223 brass ...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarmyaviator Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Military brass will normally have as a head stamp a two letter code and the last two digits of the year it was produced. Example LC 85. Be sure to check your brass for Berdan primers, these will have two off center holes in the primer pocket rather than a single hole such as you find with boxer primed brass.

GuildSF4 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Some non-military brass is crimped also. See this topic - http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=180490 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retarmyaviator Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I ran into that with some Federal NT 40 S&W. Do not know for sure it was crimped but after I ran it through a Dillon 600 swagger the problem of crushing primers disappeared. Some non-military brass is crimped also.

Doc Hunter Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If you have that much "range brass" you will need the swager. There are others on the market - but the Dillion rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
