Ok guys help me out here. I have a bunch of 5.56 NATO brass that has the crimped in primer. Does this die pop the crimp out with the primer or what? If it does its quicker than my Dillon super seated. And since I'm about to go progressive with 5.56 it would make things easier. Thanks in advance.

The only thing the universal deprimer does is help from having to change a die out everytime you change caliber, i like it cause you can use it on unclean brass without the worry of scratching the die or brass since the die body is bigger than your case

You might ask @Neckbeard but I think the Lee App might be a quicker way to swage than using a dillon super swage. If you are looking for a quicker method.

I've mostly used a reamer in a drill. If you have soft hands it might not be the method for you unless you can use some sort of gloves

As far as the primer pocket i have done the reamer both by hand and with a drill it was hell to my arthritic hands,, tried two different swagging kits first was the CH4D it was a no go due to pulling the ream off the cases second was the RCBS kits and it worked good with very little problems but i wanted more so i got the lyman prep center and it works great and can do more with it.
