I didn't realize I bought a lot of 223 that the primer pocket was crimped.
I have a dillon 650 and was having issues putting primers in, and someone suggested that was the issue. Sure enough, some American Federal rounds I'd bought 1000 of when I first started shooting and saving were crimped.
So I did get a super swage to clean out the pockets but I'm not figuring out a good workflow. Right now, I have to use the press to de-prime the case, and then pull it out and put it on the swage, and then reset, etc. Is there a better option I'm missing that I can do this a little faster?
I'd like to reuse the brass, seems a waste otherwise to not use it Near as I can tell this is common but I'm still in the 'beginner' stage on this so want to make sure I'm not missing something. I play a computer nerd by day so my mechanical skills are a bit lacking and I may have the answer staring me in the face so please be kind
