Pocket Reamer

[gillman7]

OK, the decapping die on the other thread got me thinking. I have some crimped brass that I will be reloading. Is there a different reamer for each primer size, ie, SP, LP, SR, LR?

Just two. Large and small.

If you want to clean the bottom of your primer pockets in the same operation as you remove the crimp LR primer pockets are about 0.010" deeper then LP pockets. Some carbide primer pocket reamers have an integral "stop".

On the other hand, if you have a large quantity of crimped primer pockets to deal with swaging is the way to go...
