Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Crimped primer pockets

I used the RCBS tool for a lot of years, slow and didn't always do a good job. About 10 years ago I bought the Dillon. By far the best and fastest tool on the market.

I use one of these:
Hornady Primer Pocket Reamer Cutter Head Small $9.19 at Midway.

I have one of the new RCBS similar to the Dillon on order from Midway. Supposed to be in late this month. I've used the Dillon and it worked well. If you can believe the reviews the RCBS is even better. Cost a little less change too.

Never had a primer fall out and freeze up your AR?

Yeah, crimped is where it's at.

Thanks this works great.

You can. I do. The handle is threaded for use of all their tools. Mine is an old style wooden one. I just unscrew the cutter and chuck it in my cordless drill. I had a swager...I hated the thing.

Nope never..but I don't load hot in .223 and if the pocket feels loose when I press in primers I throw the brass.

x2. This is a great way to do it.
