what is this?
« on: September 30, 2014, 06:42:24 PM »
In my adventures in reloading recently came across 3 cases I can't seat primers in.  9mm.
I think I may give them to my pal Fly for his hammer and nail set method he mentioned.  Course he can do it in Lincoln after I go back to Omaha :laugh:
Here is one the problem children:

WCC is a crimped primer case.  Need to remove the crimp from the primer pocket with a primer pocket tool.

Have you removed the crimp?  Military cartridge cases have crimped in primers.

I have only ran into 3 of these in my range brass.  Haven't removed crimp. 

I'll bet Fly could seat the primers :laugh:

Thanks

I can...and I HAVE.  If they sneak their way into the mix before they have been de/un-crimped, they make an awful crunching noise as the primer is seated.  :o

NATO spec 9x19 made in 2004 by Western Cartridge Co. (Winchester).
Re: the crimped primer pocket—
Toss them in the garbage and be done with them.
Take a pen  knife and remove the crimp at the mouth of the primer pocket.
Take your chamfering tool and remove the crimp.
Take a screwdriver and remove the crimp.
Get a primer pocket "uniformed" and remove the crimp
