Been doing it old school by using my deburring tool to trim the crimp. Been shooting a bit lately and started thinking I need a faster process.

What do you use? I shoot 5.56 , 400 blackout and 7.61x.51 so most of my use brass I buy has crimps.

Thanks in advance

Lyman chamfer tool.

You can take the cutter off and chuck it in a drill.
By hand it takes me about 4-5 seconds to cut a crimp with these.

Been trimming them out with this but man it gets old after a couple hundred rounds.
I have that tool and it cramps my hands something terrible and it is not tapered enough for my case mouths if you use it for that end.

I still have mine and it is good for .308 large crimped primer primer pockets.
And I use to debur the outside of case necks after trimming cases.

The taper on that tool on case mouths is too abrupt and I found it was slightly peeling off some of the metal surface of my bullets and you seat enough you will see small copper sparlkies on the loading press or shell holder.

I went with the VLD chamfer tool and eliminated that issue.

And found the VLD was perfect for small rifle primer pocket holes.

I find I can get in a pretty good rhythm with a Dillon Super Swage 600. I like that swaging moves material and doesn't remove material, although it probably doesn't make a lick of difference as both methods work. I used to use a chamfer tool with a drill, but my hands cramp up pretty quickly doing it that way.
