- I take a look at some of the less expensive crimping methods, to include my new go-to: the RCBS Crimp Removal tool mounted into a Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Center.

just the info I was looking for, thanks for taking the time to make this video!
+Checkmate Armament I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Good info. Thanks. Just started using the RCBS Universal Case Prep Center. Ditto..Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
I took a chance and bought one of the RCBS like you use, then saw this video. Makes me feel much better knowing it’ll work lol. Now just need Amazon to drop it off so I can get to work
It should definitely work for you once it shows up!
@@AdventureColorado got it in and it seems to work great. This will be my first time loading .223 and I have learned the prep is wayyyy more time consuming than 9mm lol
I started with the rcbs swage kit. I hated it. I now run the exact same setup. I love it.
I am much happier with this setup too.
I had a Dillon Super Swage and it was very nice, worked well, and solid as a rock. Sold it on eBay a couple months ago. Now I use a pocket reamer bit chucked into a cordless drill for my bulk reloading stuff. It's way faster than the Dillon although it does remove brass. My Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Center is on its way so I'm sure I will use that now instead of the drill.
I've heard the Dillon Super Swage works really well. I don't remove enough crimps to feel like I needed it, but if I loaded more once fired crimped brass it would probably be worth the investment.
I bought the RCBS 90386 and I can honestly say what an expensive and effective way yo remove crimps thank you.
Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureColorado no sir thank you for posting. This saved me a lot of time and kept me from spending money on items that are not necessary.
A case neck reamer works just fine. No need for any "special" tools and the one mounted on an RCBS case prep center is more than enough for any "standard" rifle cartridge primer crimp. For once-fired Lake City .50 BMG cases I use an RCBS primer-pocket "uniformer" mounted in a cordless drill because RCBS case prep centers don't have nearly enough torque for that task.
You can certainly use the neck reamer or even a pocket knife to remove a crimp. I pick up range brass fairly often at my range that I can tell the crimp was removed with a knife because of all the extra material that was removed.
I was just showing how this particular tool is used. I also prefer it because the case bottoms out against the tool and prevents removing too much brass.
I constantly think of about efficiency and this really tickles my fancy. One thing I did notice was that you turn your wrist to twist the brass as you apply pressure. This seems to me like unnecessary movement which puts strain on your wrist over time. Sometimes my shoulder gets tired doing repetivitive movements for a while so I like to examine what am I physically doing that is not efficient or wasted effort. I'm really tempted to get this setup! It's so streamlined! After tumbling, I run my spent cases through a 3 stage progressive brass prep setup. Station 1: size/decap > Station 2: Lee Power Quick Trim w/ a foot pedal triggered power drill (trims, chamfer & deburr) > Station 3: mouth flaring die. Then I hand prime and swage before running through 3 stages of charge, bullet, crimp. Enjoyed the video. Be well!
I guess I didn't really think about the twist very much until you pointed it out. Going back over it in my mind I was using that motion to ensure that the base of the brass case is square with the tool and not at an angle.
There is a reason for rotating the brass. From a machinist background, rotating the brass will assist in getting a more true pocket because the cutter could have a little runout and rotating the brass helps with consistency.
I have the RCBS swagger but it leaves a sharp edge on the primer pocket. I just got a new RCBS trim station but it didn’t come with the military crimp remover. I have one of those on order now.
I think you will like using this a lot more than the swager. I still had primers hanging up with the swaging tool, but with the crimp remover I haven't had any issues seating primers.
There's a new gen 2 model that takes less material off TM MILITARY CRIMP REMOVER-2, LARGE - 90387
Ballistic tools has a swage gage that I've used to see if I've got too aggressive with crimp removal. It has a go and no-go gage so you can judge what processed brass you want to use.
I’ll have to check that out, thanks.
the rcbs swager tool did not work for me but the real problem was a poorly mounted press. must be securely mounted. Had the most success with the small reamer by rcbs used in a handdrill. I found it to be the damaging to the hands , to assist with fatique put the mouth of the case up against a solid piece of wood or something firm so you can apply pressure with the drill. doesn't take much pressure but does make it easier. Reamed over 1000 cases of military brass and tool is still sharp and do in a great job. recommend this tool
The board would definitely help, thanks for the input!
Thinking of getting the Frankfort arms Do u like it
Absolutely, still happy with it.
I use a 1/2" countersink bit that I bought from Harbor Freight ( < $5 ). It has the 1/4" shank that goes into any cordless drill. Unfortunately, with the RCBS Swaging die, there isn't a visible difference once the crimp has been removed.
I'll have to check that out, you're right that this doesn't have a real visible difference. It has been working well for me so far though.
@@AdventureColorado The primers will seat after using the RCBS swage, but I’ve found the countersink bit to be faster and you can easily see all of the crimp has been removed.
I'll have to give it a try, the primers will seat, but I've noticed they occasionally hang up just a little.
was not happy with the rcbs swaging tool. got the reamer was not happy until I pressed the case up against an object like a piece of wood. If you try to hold the case in your hand while you ream out the primer pocket, you will not be successful. Press up against something solid while drilling/reaming and it does work good. I've reamed a few hundred with success.
What were you using to turn the reamer? I have been very happy with setting it up in the Frankford Arsenal Case Prep Center, then holding the brass with my hand. I could see how using a piece of wood could reduce the fatigue or cramping in your fingers for large batches of brass.
using just a battery powered drill
Have the Rcbs single stage, (it's terrible) Nice video
Thanks for watching!
I'm trying to figure out why you're twisting the case on a spinning reamer.
I noticed that if I just press it down, sometimes I don't press evenly and the head of the case isn't flush with the tool. If I give it a little bit of a twist I ensure that keep the head flush and get a complete removal.
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out.
Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!!!!
