Anyone have smart solutions for cutting a consistent chamfer to remove crimp ?
I scored a bunch of military brass, and have gotten around the initial problem by just chucking a chamfer tool in my hand drill and carefully cutting a chamfer to remove the crimp. Obviously having been done by hand, it is not all that consistent...
What tools do you use ?
Swaging
I'm using a Lyman pocket reamer. Works great, sucks that it can't fit my drill.
I use one of these
Attachment 17836
But it does work the pocket a bit, I only reload each case once anyway so not an issue.
223 swage and deprime service is 5c a case
308 10c a case
Spanners & Mikee, any particular benefit to swaging over cutting, or is it a time/ease of operation thing ?
I'm lazy and have a swager sooooooo......... (and power tools and me are not friends, ouch)Quote:

It's the same size plunger going straight in every time
I have cut them before with bit in a drill and its inconsistent depending on how you hold the case on it
Got a number of pock marks on the T3 bolt face from primers not sealing :(
