First time reloading, Primer went off in the press

Swager will work as stated above...in the old days before all the new technology, we used a pocket knife to cut out the "swage". Still works til youget the $ for a swager. Lyman makes a dandy crimp remover with a wooden handle for anout $8, if you don't have 100's to do. I don't like the case neck debur tool because it puts too much bevel on the top of the pocket

Also make sure the button is fully seated and the case is all the way back into the button before you raise/lower the ram. The hole must line up with the pocket.

Finesse is required to prime on the press, not gorilla arm or cam over.

Don't let this put you off on crimped brass. If you're working with range brass the crimp and sealer is best indicator you've got for once fired.

I like the Hornady reamer linked above. The bit part will screw into a short Hex standoff that I chuck in my drill press. It makes quick work of the crimps and won't cut too deep.

Yep, only good thing about crimped brass IMO.
