    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.

      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.

          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!
