Military Crimp Removal Opinion Needed
Folks,
I was given about 3000 LC 223 shells with military crimps. I've cleaned the cases, resized them, and removed the primers. Now I need to remove the military crimp.
I'm dithering between a Dillon Super Swage, and RCBS swager, and a CH4D primer pocket swager.
My question is, regardless of which one of these beasts I use/order, in the meantime, if I want to do some reloading, is it acceptable to simply use my RCBS deburring tool (looks like a missile) to ream out the pocket and remove the crimp? I could chuck the thing in a 1/2 drill press or portable drill and use it that way until the new toy(s) arrives.
Opinions?
