Traded for a bunch of .223 most of which are crimped brass. Not looking forward to reaming the pockets, I let my mind wander to a solution.
Picked up a fan motor controller (rheostat), double gang box, dug an outlet and cover out of my supplies, grabbed a cord I had cut off a vacuum at the dump and built my own pocket reamer. Picture is below. Strapped an old 3/8" drill to a board with plumber's tape, chucked up my hand reamer bit, and away we go.
Turn the speed down low, fit the pocket onto the reamer, press slightly, and voila', reamed brass. Sure beats hurting my old hands any more today.
