Reloading 223: Does LC M193 have crimped primers?

[sd_shooter]

Hi,

I just bought a couple cases of M193 (5.56) which is brass cased and boxer primed. Will I need to purcha$e one of these? I'm a 223 noob.



Thanks,

more than likely yes.

size one then try to prime it, if primer wont go in or wants to crush then yes its crimped

You visually tell if there is a crimp. Google for pics.

Typically LC M193 are crimped.

That swager works great. New it's $100, if you can find a used one you'll be lucky.
