Does Lake City 5.56, 62 gr, green tip require swaging?

[grant22]

Thank you all. I will look into the Dillon down the road when I get into reloading .223.

As of now, I wanted to know so that I can buy LC 5.56 and KNOW down the road I can reload the ammo. Makes the cost of LC alittle more easy to swallow.

Regarding reaming -- "you can take out too much" actually if you exam an ideal or other reamer you will see it only cuts a standard pocket at the upper tapered portion of the cutter. I suppose if you go at it like you are killin' snakes you can bugger up a pocket.

This type of tool is the one I was referring to which I use to de-crimp the few cases I may come across that require it. It will certainly allow you to take far too much brass of very easily.

Here's another way to do it for about $10.

I use one of those chucked in the drill press or hand drill.

$15 bucks.

For small batches, this works fine. A couple good twists in the primer pocket takes off metal enough that you can reprime without issues.

I chuck one of these into my drill press and ream the primer pocket. I've been using the same tool since 1972 and it still deburrs and reams just fine!
