I have a bunch of .223 lake city brass and assumed they would have crimped primer pockets, but they don`t, bought a pocket swaging die and its not needed as the primers seat just fine without using it.
Could depriming be removing the crimp?
That's why the CMP can no longer sell U.S. GI surplus ammo, cases, primers, bullets, powder, etc. like they used to.
I currently have 500 "new" LC 5.56 (.223) cases and Kennedy is correct, assuming they are new cases, do not have a crimp that would need to be removed.
I never assume anything. We all know what they say about assuming!
