Primer uniform tool on all brass???

[tools2teach]

Does anyone here use a pocket uniform tool when prepping all brass, particularly 223? Aside from removing the military crimp, is pocket uniform tool still recommended or will I just be wasting my time.

Reason why I ask because I every time there's a military crimp in the batch, it locks up my press and it becomes a pain to get back into the groove.

A pocket uniformer tool won't eliminate the problem of military crimps, it just cuts and squares up. What it does come in handy for is to let me know if I've fully reamed out the crimp.

I've been using Wolf primers for my AR's and in my experience with some brass the primers seat a little to high. So I go ahead and uniform them all for the first loading. I use one of these and put it in a drill: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct...tnumber=445053

I personally only uniform pockets in brass that I use for long range accuracy loads.

As noted by spareparts above, decrimping is a separate process. I use this:

I use them for my SHTF/defense loads. I get anal in that area. But for day to day plinking, no.

I use the Sinclair tool on my brass. I used it on new Rem brass and was surprised how inconsistent the primer depths were. Its a must for me. If the crimp isn't completely removed it can "lock up" but its not a big deal.

I never use one on my non-crimped brass (don't shoot crimped). And that ammo shoots sub-moa when I'm doing everything else right.
