Thread: Getting rid of crimped primer pockets?

I have a few hundred ADI .223 cases with crimped primer pockets which I need to sort out for reloading so I thought I’d ask those who have been down this path what they have tried?

I know you can just use your case deburring tool to get rid of the crimp but wanted to know what effect that might have on the primer when reloaded, fired, pressures etc... pros and cons for this method?

The other method is to get a primer pocket swaging tool such as a Dillon but their expensive for what I’m wanting or get a die set that fits on my press for a lot less... again what are the pros and cons?
