.45 ACP Crimped Primer Pocket Woes

[sl0re10]

I have a lot of once fired brass that has crimped primer pockets so when my primers do not go in or they go in all smashed up. I was told that the Lyman Prep center is a good tool but I also want to hear what do yo guys use to open up that pocket a little.

I have the rcbs die for using my press.

I just got a police brass spp .45 all of it has crimped primer pockets, I'm planning on running them through the RCBS Prep Center and cut them out

Just slow down a little and don't jam the primer. I get crimps on rare occasion with .45 and sometimes .223 that inhibit easy primer seating. I pull it before it jams up if I feel extra tension. I have a deburring tool running below my press, where I remove the crimp with that, or just toss out the case.

Be aware that .45ACP Blazer Brass uses small primers and does newer Federal cases

I thought that Federal went back to LPP for .45 ACP. Anyhow, the SPP .45 ACP is the good stuff .
