All,
I load .223 but not 5.56 and have never knowingly loaded 5.56; therefore, I have never had to remove military primer crimps. When I find 5.56, I give them to someone or discard them. While sorting through some cases I loaded and fired, at some time in the past, I noticed the cases are LC military 5.56.
I don't recall every having a hard time seating primers and that includes these 5.56 cases. I must have overlooked the head stamps. I seated some primers to see what would happen. All primers seated without difficulty so I'm thinking it is possible to seat 5.56 cases without removing the crimp.
Just curious. Any comments?
