Removing Crimped Primers From Surplus Brass

Often we are hesitant to try and reload “military brass” like Lake City .223/5.56 NATO. One of the main concerns is that most military brass is primed with crimped primers.
Crimped primers can pose a real headache to the reloader – it’s simply a lot more difficult to de-prime the brass. For this reason many reloaders will steer clear of mil-surp brass.
But they don’t have to! With a little knowledge, effort, and some basic tools you may already have, you can remove the crimped primers, and prep the brass for reloading.
The video below clearly explains the process.

Reloading Bench for a Small Space

One of the questions that often comes up with new reloaders is how to make a reloading bench, and where to put it.
If you’re like the staff at ReloadingMadeEasy, you probably have more hobbies and interests than corners of your basement, and space often comes at a premium!
The following video explains how you can make a fully functional reloading bench and workspace in a way that won’t take over your basement or work area! It is amazing what kind of reloading bench you can set up in a space only 2′x3′!
This is probably one of the most efficient and practical setups we have seen. Enjoy!
