vipertech Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Is it better to swedge the primer pockets or cut them out with a motorized cutter. This job really sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 doing brass prep for rifle does suck. I'd swage them instead of cutting the pocket. You only have to do it once, and I don't like taking off any brass that I don't have to. My $.025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I've done both. The easiest way is to swage them on a dillon 1050 as part of the loading / prep of the case. Before I got a 1050, I would ream them. It is a PIA but necessary if you are using crimped primer brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Shooter Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) I am not going to say that I go both ways but I will say that for me it depends on what caliber we are talking about. for cartridges like .308 WIN and 30-06 I ream by hand just to clear the crimp - for .223 I mostly swage except for my 600 yard loads that I still cut by hand.

vipertech Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sorry guys I was refering to the 223 brass I had gotten at a local police range. Some Federal some Lake City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
