what primer pocket cleaning and reforming tool do you recommend?
what primer pocket cleaning and reforming tool do you recommend?
so i guess the video on Johnnys reloading bench he had military ammo and on those he needed to do something to the Primer hole, he used the RCBS Military Crimp Remover, so on most ammo i get i wont have to do anything to the primer hole?
IMHO when cleaning cases, the most critical area is the case neck/shoulder. A case does not have to be shiny to perform well. But it must be clean of all foreign matter so you don't scratch up expensive dies or dent cases, and discoloration is not a problem. But your neck tension will be partially determined by how clean your neck/shoulder area is, inside and out. Wet tumbler is nice, but remember to deprime before. Vibrating also works fine.
The conversion kit to a Arbor press for the RCBS pres, only works for the Summit not the Rock Chucker. The RCBS Summit is one press that has not been brought up, maybe because of price, but is a fine press. Also all of the fore mentioned press have a bushing for the die that can be removed and in most cases the Hornady Lock-N-Load die setup can be utilized if so desired. I have always had problems trying to do a full length resize on my arbor press and put that process in the single stage job list. The Harrell's precision combo press is a taste expensive and limited in a lot of ways.

Normally, no you don't need to do anything with primer pockets, but clean them if you like? I stopped deburing my flash holes and didn't seem to make any difference on my 6 Crredmoor Comp Rifle, still single digit SD/ES.so i guess the video on Johnnys reloading bench he had military ammo and on those he needed to do something to the Primer hole, he used the RCBS Military Crimp Remover, so on most ammo i get i wont have to do anything to the primer hole?
