Oh I use a small counter sink chucked in my cordless drill to remove military crimps. Works really well to cut a small radius into the primer pocket mouth

Honestly... pistol brass no I have deprimed and pin washed.

Rifle I have cut the military crimps out. But never pistol brass.
My pics are to big and wint let me down size them to post them.

My personal opinion is S&B is garbage brass.

But everyone knows how opinions are 😄

Took my new DE to the range for 1st time.

I got mixed feelings on it.
While it's a really nice platform a few things I liked an disliked.

Feels nice and fits well in hand
Decent trigger that I think will get better with use

Things I didnt care for
Grips... medallions fell out of grips on first magazine.
I dunno what's up with the Novak sites but gun shoot low.
Rear sites not adjustable possible bushing issue ?
With the slide back and locked, magazine very sloppy in the grip
Some feed issues with hollow points ( S&B ), Winchester Silver Tips ran fine
Ball ammo ran well no problems

So I will replace the grips.. found some nice  Altamont Super target Rosewood grips 1911 Gov.
Any suggestions on a Bushing for possible accuracy improvements??

Thanks for Reading

I realigned my press with Dillon realignment tool.
Took 10 S&B cases and sized and primed them.
No go... primers smashed just as before...ugg

Took 10 more S&B cases sized and deprimed
Uniformed primer pockets and used large primer military crimp removal tool on my Lyman case prep.
Out of the 10 4 primed perfect
6 was better then before but still had smiles and a bit deformed and unusable.
I think after alignment of press and disk time on the timing block and all other cases primed easily.
I think these primer pockets might be off center a bit and there fore will be feeding my scrap bucket.
I might try installing the 10mm set up to my other dillon that I use for all small primer loading  and see if it runs on that press.

I have the Lyman case prep machine that will uniform the primer pockets.
As far as taking out military crimps I use a counter sink and a drill it works very well and is really fast.
I have used it on 5.56, 7.62... I will pull all my S&B brass and uniform it all and Monday my alignment tool for my press gets here from dillon.
I will try to post some pics of this S&B primer problems and the small primer cases

I think I have an alignment problem with my dillon xl650. Dillon is sending me an alignment tool.
That should help with seating in S&B cases.
Now I am finding Blazer brass that is small primed... uggg not fun lol

I am new to loading 10mm ammo but not new to reloading.

I load on a dillon xl650

I ordered once fire range brass and most of the brass is ok. The problem I am having is with S&B brass and priming. It is just mangling primers.
Anyone else have these problems ?
Also see Blazer Brass with small primer pockets.

Any help with brass choices would be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance
