Wow that's a lot of brass. Amazing what people leave behind sometimes.

Best way to describe is watch Primer Pocket Crimp Removal / Reaming And Swaging. On You Tube, And 90% of these had to be done this way,

Lots of milspec 5.56 and 7.62 will have crimped in primers. Swaging or reaming removes this ring in the primer pocket and allows a new primer to be more easily seated. I've got the RCBS press mounted swager and while it works, it is a bit labor intensive. Best tool I've bought for prepping 223/556 was a drill mounted Little Crow trimmer. Saved me a ton of time versus the manual RCBS trimmer.

You don't do that to the primer hole you do that to the pocket hence the reason I wanted clarification enlarging primer holes can cause ignition issues and consistency issues and will ruin brass even though I know some guys that do enlarge them.

There are some people who will use a special deburring tool to clean up the primer hole from the inside but I have never used one.

Mr Birdcarver folks were concerned you may have boogered up all that brass you worked so hard on. No mean intent.

I use a RCBS primer pocket reamer on my RCBS trim mate work station. Works great and much easier than swaging.

I use lapua 220R brass to fireform my PPC. Everyone says to leave the flash holes alone, but i noticed that they varried a small bit. I used a 1/16 drill bit, which is .125 and the size of the largest flash hole to make them all uniform
