Thread: .223 case hack

A wet day here so in the garage cleaning up the couple hundred LC cases gather at the range on Thursday night.

LC is good brass but being mil brass it has a small crimp. Most folks leave it behind.

The primers pop out easily with your sizing dies but the crimp makes priming difficult.

An easy solution is to give the pockets a couple of turns with your VLD chamfer tool. If you want to be pedantic you can use a pocket cleaning tool after this but not really needed.

Works well on Federal crimped cases also.
Case on the left before, case on the right is done.
